The Fibromyalgia Solution: A Breakthrough Approach to Heal Your Body and Take Back Your Life

by Lorie List (Author), David Dryland MD MD (Author)

Synopsis

Fibromyalgia is a common medical disorder characterised by widespread pain, often coupled with other symptoms such as fatigue, disturbed sleep and chronic headaches. Because the pain seems to originate in the muscles, traditional doctors assume that's where the problem lies. However, recent research shows that the disorder is directly related to decreased levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine. Patients suffer from an over-aggressive fight-or-flight response, causing an increased adrenaline level. The solution according to rheumatologist Dr. David Dryland, is to regulate levels of dopamine in the body using approved medications which help mute pain signals travelling from the body to the brain. The book will help readers and their doctors develop a protocol to successfully treat fibromyalgia, identify what causes the disease and flare ups, determine which symptoms can be attributed to fibromyalgia and which cannot and non-drug treatments for relieving the painful symptoms of the disease.
