Pain and Inflammation Relief

Fibromyalgia (FMS) and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) are often grouped together because they share many of the same symptoms. Indeed, the majority of symptoms are the same and the major difference in the syndromes is whether fatigue or pain predominates as the chief complaint. (All people with FMS experience fatigue and all people with CFS experience pain. The key distinction is which symptom predominates.)

Further, the brain map of people with CFS and FMS is different from the brain of otherwise healthy people. However, they are not different from each other. It may be that these are the same conditions viewed from a different perspective or in a different stage of the process. This has been compared to viewing a tree during different seasons of the year: it is the same tree, but it looks different depending on when you look at it and from what perspective.

Shared Features of Fibromyalgia (FMS) and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)

CFS and FMS share many body processes in common. Really, all imbalances are rooted in trauma, toxins, deficiency and stress. CFS/FMS are no different.

• Trauma – For example, brain trauma may link these conditions. Dr. Daniel Amen reported discovering that the majority of those suffering with CFS/FMS share a common brain injury leading to a weak nerve impulse signal (neurasthenia) and an inability to relax (hyper-arousal).
• Deficiencies – Deficiencies may connect these conditions as well. Dr. William Dement linked CFS/FMS to an imbalance in the Delta brain wave pattern resulting in un-refreshing, non-restorative sleep. A sleep deficiency is coupled with many other deficiencies, primarily Essential Fatty Acids, Vitamin B-12 and magnesium.
• Toxins – Many physicians have linked toxins from our environment or toxins from infection to the immune system dysregulation of FMS/CFS. These often result in glutathione deficiency. Glutathione is the chief antioxidant in all cells of the human body. It is induced by other antioxidants such as Vitamin C and herbal preparations, especially adaptogens. Using the Vitamin C Flush can help you calibrate the maximum amount of Vitamin C your body can use to induce glutathione.
• Stress – Speaking of adaptogens, CFS/FMS are associated with people who exhibit a particularly skillful adaptation to stress. For most people, stress starts a process of arousal, adaptation and exhaustion. In people with FMS/CFS the adaptation/exhaustion response is prolonged for months, years and even decades. These ingenious people are very creative in pushing the performance envelope to the brink of exhaustion again and again until they collapse and are finally disabled by fatigue or pain. Adaptogens are critical in helping to repair the damage caused by exhaustion.

Brain trauma, toxins from our environment and infection, deficiencies in nutrients and sleep, and the ability to skillfully prolong the stress response all lead to the constellation of symptoms associated with CFS/FMS. These are the features. In light of these universal symptoms, the distinction of fatigue versus pain seems relatively minor – unless it is happening to you!

According to the excellent research work on CFS/FMS presented in the book Osler's Web, most people with these conditions eventually go into remission on their own. Time and rest are the keys to success.

Specific nutrients mentioned above are also keys to filling the deficiencies and reducing both toxins and stress. Guarding your sleep is crucial to reducing symptoms and moderate daily exercise is your key to improving general performance.
