Re: Worse months after flushes! Bad side effects! Help!
My experience of Fibromyalgia is that it is the most infuriating condition because it has a personal profile and all the advice is very general. Like many medical names it covers a host of illnesses and causes. It takes time to work out what will help you feel better and then how quickly and intensely to attempt any cure. Your nutrition is probably low but not outside accepted limits. Consequently, when you liver-flush it takes considerably longer to recover.
Fibromyalgia type conditions can be categorised as having 5 dimensions,
Cerebral. - Often diagnosed as Chronic Fatique Syndrome. Headaches are the prominent symptom. Insomnia, characterised by waking un-refreshed; despondency; anxiety, worry, and fearful, free fall anxiety of impending danger. A continued tired Washed-out” feeling is generally present.
Spinal. - Diagnosed as classic fibromyalgia. Backache, with tenderness along the spine, is characteristic. Other manifestations may include tingling, crawling, or burning sensation, or certain parts will feel hot or cold.
Gastro-Intestinal - Hyperacidity, waterbrash, nausea, retching, and vomiting. Waterbrash is the spontaneous flooding of the mouth with a clear, slightly salty fluid, which may be of sufficient quantity to require expectoration (spit). The source of the fluid appears to be the salivary glands. People sleep poorly, has unpleasant dreams, and develops an irritable disposition. There is flatulency, rumbling of the bowels, constipation may alternate with diarrhoea and a sense of weight or soreness over the abdomen.
Cardiac - While there is no organic reason, the person may experience palpitations and sometimes sharp pain similar to angina.
Urinary - The quantity of urine expelled is usually small. The patient becomes irritable, and experience dull headaches.
