Fibromyalgia (FM) is an illness syndrome that includes aches and pains all over the body; muscle tenderness; severe fatigue most of the time; mental unclarity and difficulty focusing (often called ‘brain fog’); depression; insomnia; digestive disorders (vague pains, diarrhea); and multiple allergies to foods and other items. Symptoms of FM overlap with those of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and candidiasis. All of these are diagnoses that conventional medicine often does not even acknowledge, much less treat. With the focus of conventional medicine upon the body (frequently ignoring the person who inhabits the body!), the best treatments on offer are for symptomatic treatment of depression, insomnia and candidiasis. Helpful wholistic approaches reported by clients over the years: Psychotherapy to identify stresses and behavior patterns that are unhealthy. People with FM are often altruistic, putting the needs of others ahead of their own – until their body insists on a rebalancing of focus and energies. WHEE: Whole Health – Easily and Effectively® (AKA Wholistic Hybrid derived from EMDR and EFT) can be of enormous help with pains, releasing buried feelings, changing self-limiting beliefs, reducing pains, and addressing insomnia and allergies. Dietary changes and nutritional supplements, under the guidance of a nutritionist. Physical exercise – carefully graded and not pushed past one’s tolerance. Acupuncture, homeopathy, and spiritual healing have also been helpful to some with FM.nnnResources: Comprehensive list of symptomsn nWHEE: Whole Health – Easily and Effectively® Acupuncture reading references Homeopathy reading and research references Spiritual healing readingn Popular edition Professional editionn nSpiritual healing researchn nBooks on self-healing approaches, researchn Popular edition Professional edition

It doesn’t happen ove ight. There’s no dramatic turning point, no single moment where you feel your back give up on you. The spine is quiet. It holds you without asking for thanks. You don’t notice it much, not really, until something shifts. A dull ache after sleep. A pop when you stand. That odd stiffness creeping in when you bend to pick up a bag of groceries. Sometimes, it’s just age. Other times, it’s the early signs of something like spinal stenosis, subtle changes tha
