What Are The Most Effective Treatments For Fibromyalgia? Multiple Chemical or Medication Sensitivities Positive “Leaky Gut” markers from Functional Testing Wide-spread, persistent pain (above and below the waist) Subjective and objective clinical signsīut, even though there is not one specific “Fibromyalgia” marker, such as measuring cholesterol, there are several subjective and objective clinical signs that a patient more than likely is suffering from Fibromyalgia: Thankfully, there are many Functional Medicine and Integrative Practitioners that are assessing and testing the right body systems and are able to help lead patients to healing after following the appropriate lifestyle and functional approaches. Unfortunately, many conventionally trained physicians still don’t “believe” in Fibromyalgia as a diagnosis given that there simply isn’t an easy test or results that can point them to this single diagnosis. Often it is the cellular energy systems (mitochondria), the brain, and the immune system that are seen as the enemy and attacked during Fibromyalgia flare ups or episodes. With Fibromyalgia, the tissues and systems attacked are more systemic throughout the body. This is the origin of other Autoimmune conditions such as Hashimoto’s for the Thyroid, or Rheumatoid Arthritis in the hands, knees, and joints of these unlucky patients. Ironically, the same receptors on these foreign particles often match the same receptor sites of normal tissues throughout the body and they inadvertently get caught in the crossfire.
The immune system does not recognize these particles and thus calls for an attack on them. This often occurs due to overwhelming inflammation in the gastrointestinal system thus allowing larger than normal food particles and gut microbes into circulation where they should not be. This is when the body’s own immune system begins to attack itself. Many Functional Medicine doctors believe the culprit of Fibromyalgia to be from Autoimmune origin.
It is actually caused from the dysfunction of several key systems in the body. Unlike many other conventional diseases and diagnoses, Fibromyalgia doesn’t have one single cause or triggering factor.
