Isn't FM a fatigue thing, either adrenal or chronic? I'm not sure...I'm out of my league on this...was your mom always tired?
Fibromyalgia literally means muscle pain. But FM results from lowered levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which powers the cells and helps them to function properly. This is why magnesium malate and malic acid are used to treat fibromyalgia. Both the magnesium and the malic acid raise ATP levels.
Low serotonin has also been found in fibromyalgia patients so tryptophan or tryptophan sources such as chamomile, or 5-HTP is also used.
I wonder what causes cysts in the intestines. Eek.
Cysts can form from blockage of small openings and/or infection, irritation to the tissues and poor lymphatic function.
