- How to Handle Guilt with Fibromyalgia
Something that often comes with Fibromyalgia that doctors don’t always mention is the guilt that can come from several factors. Some feel guilty because they are told their symptoms are all in their head and cannot be substantiated, although this is getting less common as Fibromyalgia is becoming more recognized as a real medical condition.
Others may feel guilty because there are things they need to accomplish that day in their home or work or with their family, but just cannot muster the energy or relieve the pain long enough to accomplish those tasks. The constant limitations can cause feelings of guilt especially as the sufferer sees their family and friends working harder to compensate for their lack of ability to help. (…)

- Treatments for Fibromyalgia
With the confusion of the condition, there also seems to be confusion on how to treat it effectively. Most doctors tend to treat the different symptoms individually since there is not one medication that relieves the symptoms of Fibromyalgia alone. Most sufferers end up trying several different medication or treatment regimens before finding out something that helps them. The same regimen is not usually affective for multiple sufferers.
Some Fibromyalgia sufferers are found to be low in magnesium which may need to be built up using supplements or increasing your intake of green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds and whole grains. Other natural helps include S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), which helps in the production and breakdown of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine and also assists in formation of cartilage. (…)

- All The News Headlines About IBS
There have been several different news headlines over the last few days linking Irritable Bowel Syndrome to many different diseases, including our favorite one – fibromyalgia. For example, in Medpage Today it says:
"When a diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) comes to mind, consider migraine, fibromyalgia, and depression as well."
Other news articles basically state that IBS is a result of someone going through some of these other diseases. I know I've had issues with IBS that I didn't have when I was younger. So, I wonder when my fibro symptoms start to lessen if other things will lessen as well… like IBS. (…)
