"Fatigue is my biggest problem. I've had to give up a lot of things because of the fatigue." Yencha has been coping with both fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue (CF) for most of her life. Technically, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome are considered separate medical conditions, but they are undeniably related. Both syndromes involve a severe fatigue that can't be cured with sleep, as well as aches and pains as if one has the flu all the time. Both conditions persist for more than six months, often into years, and appear usually after some sort of illness or trauma. Despite the condition, many patients can still achieve many of their goals with proper management.<br /> <br /> Severe fibromyalgia and CF sufferers say that fatigue is the most debilitating facet of their condition since they are hyper-sensitive to pain and never feel completely alert, which can affect all of their daily tasks. Therefore CF and fibromyalgia treatments normally start with sleep management, says Mary Rose, a clinical psychologist and behavioral sleep specialist at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.<br /> <br /> "We know from studies that sleep improves mood, pain, and the overall way that folks feel throughout the day," she explains. "Regardless of the explanations for CF, if we can get some control over quality of sleep, we're almost certain to observe a positive impact on concentration, mood and fatigue."<br /> <br /> Chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia patients usually have a lot of bad habits that prevent them from getting adequate rest. "Don't lie in bed, worrying and stressing," Dr. Rose tells her patients. "Get up, go to the other room. When you're calmer, relaxed, feel tired, go back to bed." Another recommendation with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome is to avoid napping. "A lot of patients have circadian rhythm problems. Napping can throw you off. Any sleep during the daytime will be taken from your sleep at night," Dr. Rose adds. Limiting noise and distractions in the bedroom, blocking out all light and participating in calming activities before bed are all ways to improve sleep quality.<br /> <br /> Patients who have any sort of syndromes, diseases and conditions find that stress exacerbates their maladies. Therefore, stress reduction is essential for anyone suffering from fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue. Gentle exercises like yoga, Pilates and meditation can help patients unwind and sleep better. Relaxation exercises and meditation can also help individuals normalize their heart rates and lower blood pressure, which contributes to an overall feeling of wellbeing. Stretching several times a day and taking nice warm baths are pleasant ways to provide gentle comfort to an aching body. - 29964</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'><a target='_blank' href="http://chronicfatiguesyndromehelp.net/chronic_fatigue.php">Chronic fatigue</a> is a real illness that requires education and the right treatment methods.

In fact, fibromyalgia is considered as one of the most frequent medical problems across the globe. This type of chronic pain disorder has symptoms like soreness on your body's tender points. Other signs also include irritable bowel movements, numbness, anxiety, restless leg syndrome, and for women, painful menstrual periods.<br /> <br /> Because this chronic condition has been bugging hundreds and thousands of people, finding the right treatment for FM has been going on for years already. However, most people suffering from fibromyalgia normally consider finding fibromyalgia natural cures, believing that it can greatly help them with their joint and ligaments problems.<br /> <br /> Vitamin D is probably the most common of all fibromyalgia natural cures. It has been proven that FM is often characterized by the body's vitamins D deficiency. So if you take in a generous amount of vitamin D religiously, you will achieve less painful fibromyalgia attacks in the future.<br /> <br /> Another form of fibromyalgia natural cures is the S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe). This is actually a compound occurring naturally in one's body. SAMe is needed in your immune system to make it work properly. Furthermore, it also helps in maintaining the membranes of your cells and provides assistance in the breakdown of the body's neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, or norepinephrine. And since this compound is also a major player in your body's cartilage formation, SAMe is truly a good way to cure fibromyalgia the natural way.<br /> <br /> There are generally different ways available today, as far as finding the right fibromyalgia natural cures is concerned. However, you need to understand that FM is different from patient to another.<br /> <br /> So in order to find out which natural cure for FM is right for you, it is important to consult your medical practitioner first and discuss what may be a possibility with your case. - 29964</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Would you like to know more on <a target='_blank' href="http://rapidfibromyalgiarelief.com/fibromyalgia-symptoms-what-are-the-symptoms-of-fibromyalgia">fibromyalgia symptoms</a>?, then visit the site below to know everything related to fibromyalgia including <a target='_blank' href="http://rapidfibromyalgiarelief.com/fibromyalgia-diagnosis">fibromyalgia diagnosis</a>, treatment options and coping methods to deal with fibromyalgia agony and frustration. </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08148632144058566737noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7483844498167819338.post-15154583849279261362010-01-09T11:38:00.000-08:002010-01-09T12:04:34.607-08:00Fibromyalgia Exercise- Can Exercise Help Treat Fibromyalgia?<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Shaun Marsh</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>Fibromyalgia, or popularly called FM, is that type of chronic illness that shows signs ranging from a mere body fatigue to a more painful and more constant body aches and pains. Today, this type of illness has made doctors difficult to diagnose because each case vary from the other and that, no proven cause has yet to be established of the problem. <br /> <br /> But thorough research showed that fibromyalgia is related to the sensory processing of the nervous system. And with fibromyalgia, signs such as stiffness, pains and fatigue made experts conclude that doing proper exercise for fibromyalgia is one way to beat the problem.<br /> <br /> However, your joints and muscles are the primary problems with fibromyalgia. Is it not a bad idea to make it worse my doing exercise? But if you try to look at it on the lighter side, exercise can actually help you with your fibromyalgia problems. Exercise can help the muscles become healthier and stronger. Thus, this can give you lesser chances of having fibromyalgia attacks in the future.<br /> <br /> Upon doing exercise for fibromyalgia, set your mind that this is not for weight loss but instead, for health improvement. So you need to start slow and set small goals. And as you go along, you can gradually increase your exercise and you may start making larger goals as well.<br /> <br /> Swimming is one proven effective exercise for patients with fibromyalgia. With the exercise, you get to simultaneously improve your body and heart's performance. Furthermore, the water is also a good support of your body while doing your exercise. <br /> <br /> Yoga and tai chi are also other forms of exercise. But whatever type of exercise for fibromyalgia you consider, keep in mind that this one can help ease the pain of your FM. After all, proper exercise can help boost your energy levels and provide you with a better sleep at night. So to lessen your worries about fibromyalgia, get your feet moving now and start exercising. - 29964</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Learn more about <a target='_blank' href='http://ezinearticles.com/?Fibromyalgia-Pain-Relief---3-Tips-on-How-to-Seek-Relief-From-Fibromyalgia-Fatigue&id=3496225'>fibromyalgia pain relief</a>.

Both alleviation of symptoms and focusing on the quality of life are the focus of the treatment process for most patients. Prescription medicine, alternative medicine, work outs and changes in the lifestyle are combined to form one powerful treatment regimen for fibromyalgia patients.<br /> <br /> But, it is also known that the approach is always trial and error. It means that the approach is tweaked in various ways to meet the needs of one patient. Moreover, the method is modified entirely for the benefit of a single patient. It is important that patients have to allow the medical personnel work as a team so that a plan can be devised properly for each patient.<br /> <br /> But, the approach is limited in a way that the disease process is not yet understood and there is only a limited background about the course of the disorder. There is really no single treatment studied that emerged to be really working. Most of all, there is no published information regarding the disease activity during pregnancy.<br /> <br /> The lack of understanding about the disease process puts the fetus and the mother in danger. There has been conflict in the evidence of the process of disease and its effect to pregnancy. It is imperative therefore that further research is needed in order to discover the appropriate treatment as well as the course of disease on pregnancy.<br /> <br /> The importance of such research is needed so that there will not come a time where we have to choose between the mother and child. There is one thing that is already known and it is the fact that the pregnancy alone can increase the symptoms of fibromyalgia. However, this needs to be delved deeper.<br /> <br /> The most important phase and the most challenging during pregnancy is the third trimester where the frequency of the symptoms is also increasing. This would mean that the disease is already progressing. - 29964</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Want to find out more about <a target='_blank' href='http://rapidfibromyalgiarelief.com/'> treatment fibromyalgia </a>, then visit Rapid Fibromyalgia Relief on how to find <a target='_blank' href='http://rapidfibromyalgiarelief.com/fibromyalgia-pain-relief-3-simple-treatments-to-ease-your-fibromyalgia-pain/'> fibromyalgia pain relief </a>. </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08148632144058566737noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7483844498167819338.post-26872697240939673152010-01-04T07:34:00.000-08:002010-01-04T08:36:53.336-08:00Ways To Seek Treatment For Fibromyalgia- Know What Works And What Doesn't<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Shaun Marsh</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>The lack of understanding for the exact cause of fibromyalgia leads to the lack in the effective treatment that is present. There are many treatments that claim to cure the condition but many of them are ineffective and deceitful. They are manufactured to make you lose money in every sense of the word.<br /> <br /> More often than not, patients already know that there is no cure yet to the disorder. However, there is one good approach for this particular condition that is found to be effective in many ways. The treatment regimen involves the interplay of both the traditional and conventional medicine.<br /> <br /> Alleviation of symptoms through this approach is done through stress management, medications and exercise. This approach will lead to the improvement of the quality of life for patients. Moreover, patients should remain hopeful for new treatment in the future because of the studies done today.<br /> <br /> The researches are made to increase our knowledge about the disease process and comprehension about its course as well as effects to the body. Exercise can help you alleviate the symptom of pain. Basically, it will make your sore muscles achieve strength and become more flexible.<br /> <br /> The medications that could help you with the pain could be acetaminophen, NSAID and some muscle relaxants. Furthermore, sleep medications are also given although not for extended periods of time. The reason behind this is that it will lose its effect over time. Antidepressants can also alleviate sleep disturbances as well as treat depression accompanying fibromyalgia. There is another medication for the fibromyalgia symptoms namely seizure medication. This medication can also significantly relieve you of pain.<br /> <br /> There are also alternative practices being used to alleviate the symptoms of the disease and these are the massage therapy, acupuncture and chiropractic manipulation. Flare ups can also be avoided through the use of the mentioned alternative methods. - 29964</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Learn more about <a target='_blank' href='http://rapidfibromyalgiarelief.com/'> how to treat fibromyalgia </a>.

The combination of medications, technology, proper nutrition and relaxation will make everything easier when you try to alleviate the symptoms of this condition.<br /> <br /> There is no single treatment for this disease, which is why the solution may seem like it is complicated. It is needed that the solution would involve all possible method to address the complicated problem. This is the ideal method of approaching the condition because it attacks from various angles, which would lead to a much desired effect. Nonetheless, the discovery of the real causes and understanding of the course of disease are the only ways that the real solution would be achieved.<br /> <br /> This particular goal can only be reached through extensive studies and research. There are already many research facilities that are conducting studies to reach this goal. The approach would only depend on the severity of the disease and the frequency of the symptoms for each individual. Your physician will be the one who will recommend various regimens that are designed to fit your needs. Basically, it will involve a trial and error but they are effective in more ways than one.<br /> <br /> The focus of the treatment process is to alleviate the symptoms and relief from the pain inflicted by the disorder. Naturally, your physician will follow through the regimen that would enable you to have the best quality of life possible. Along with the treatment regimen, you also have to enhance the quality of your sleep. You need to rest adequately because it can make the whole situation worst if you do not rest.<br /> <br /> There are many studies that claim there is a relationship between estrogen levels in the blood, menopause and this condition. However, this needs further evidence. Future studies should also focus on this aspect since we all know that women tend to be the ones affected more than men.<br /> <br /> One form of an effective treatment would be to combine alternative methods like exercise, stress management, chiropractic procedures, physical therapy and acupuncture. Nevertheless, you need to bear in mind that the cure is yet to be found for this condition. - 29964</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Looking to find the best information on the <a target='_blank' href='http://rapidfibromyalgiarelief.com/'> treatment for fibromyalgia </a>, then visit site to all you need to know about fibromyalgia including <a target='_blank' href='http://rapidfibromyalgiarelief.com/fibromyalgia-diagnosis/'> fibromyalgia diagnosis </a> for you. </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08148632144058566737noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7483844498167819338.post-20833171797460353062010-01-02T07:23:00.000-08:002010-01-02T08:43:53.965-08:00Chronic Fatigue Syndrome And Fibromyalgia<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Anju Mathur, MD</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>People who were happy, healthy and vital experience chronic symptoms that put an end to their activity. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome seems to take all your energy away and it often lasts for years.<br /> <br /> Chronic fatigue syndrome is a complicated disorder characterized by extreme fatigue that doesn't improve with bed rest and may worsen with physical or mental activity. Unlike influenza symptoms, which usually subside in a few days or weeks, the signs and symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) can last much longer. They may come and go frequently with no identifiable pattern.<br /> <br /> Many people suffer from chronic symptoms that have no real medical handling in traditional medicine. Although the symptoms are serious, they are treatable. Center for Disease Control reports that between one and four million Americans have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and are many of those cannot fully function, are unemployed or on welfare because of it.<br /> <br /> Chronic fatigue syndrome may precipitate after an infection, such as a cold or viral illness or after a time of great stress. It can also come on gradually without a clear starting point or obvious cause. Women are diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome far more often than men are.<br /> <br /> Conventional medicine favors the idea that it's "all in your head." This leads to no remedy at all as the patient is sent to psychologists who prescribe harmful drugs. Sometimes a physical therapist or sleep therapist or dietitian get involved. But mainly medicos tell the patient to learn to live with it.<br /> <br /> But the condition is not all in your head. You don't have to live with it, and alternative medicine offers help by finding an underlying cause and a natural remedy. The disease can be stopped and symptoms reversed. The results are available, and you can regain your energetic lifestyle.<br /> <br /> If you suffer from fibromyalgia or CFS, your diet can make your condition worse or better. Eating a lot of refined carbohydrates will make the condition worse, whereas eating slow-burning carbs (rich in fiber) will provide your body with more energy. If you consume a lot of saturated fats and refined vegetable oils, the pain will worsen. If you consume foods high in omega-3 fatty acids (like fish and flaxseed oil) your pain will lessen. Diet is very important.<br /> <br /> Food allergies are often missed as a cause of CFS and fibromyalgia. A competent doctor can evaluate for food allergies.<br /> <br /> Depression can accompany CFS and figromyalgia. Low levels of a neuro-transmitter, serotonin if often a cause, because this substance in the brain regulates sleep and contributes to the persons mood. Lack of it increases pain. There are supplements that can be prescribed to alleviate pain, regulate mood and ward off depression - such as St. John's wort, SAMe, natural replacement seratonin and 5-HTP. Whereas Prozac and other prescription drugs merely mask symptoms and come with dangerous side effects, natural remedies do not. Many happier patients will attest to this fact. - 29964</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Learn more about Dr. Anju Mathur and Bioidentical Hormone Replacement at the <a target='_blank' href="http://www.angelmedcenter.com">Angel Longevity Medical Center</a>.

In a recent study, it was uncovered that 67% of the 101 patients who had chronic fatigue syndrome also had the XMRV virus. By contrast, 4% of 218 control subjects who did not have chronic fatigue also tested positive for the retrovirus. "This discovery opens a new area of medical possibilities for people who have a condition that has baffled doctors and researchers for years," says Dr. Mikovits.<br /> <br /> The CDC has several theories on the causes of CFS. One is that critical or persistent infections such as herpes virus 6 or Epstein-Barr can leave behind lingering effects in the system, like lethargy and aches. A four-city surveillance study was not able to track CFS back to just one specific human pathogen, even though it is believed that contagious agents might have a role to play in producing chronic fatigue.<br /> <br /> New research indicates that people infected with Epstein-Barr virus, Ross River virus and Coxiella burnetti will acquire a post-infective condition that matches the chronic fatigue syndrome symptoms in twelve percent of cases.<br /> <br /> While it's not one of the purported causes of chronic fatigue syndrome, a recent study showed that 96% of adults with a CFS diagnosis also tested positive for neurally mediated hypotension during tilt table testing (compared to 29% of healthy controls). Neurally mediated hypotension is induced when a patient gets up too fast, causing a sudden drop in blood pressure, lightheadedness, nausea and fainting. Some CFS patients were given medication normally administered to NMH patients and many saw dramatic improvement in their symptoms, but much more medical research is required before this one-size-fits-all approach is recommended.<br /> <br /> The latest story in the search for causes of chronic fatigue syndrome is that there may be a virus behind the troubling symptoms. The XMRV chronic fatigue retrovirus is said to be similar to HIV in that it spreads through bodily fluids and causes the body to attack itself, in a sense. Researchers are still trying to figure out the exact connection, but they have recently found that many CFS patients also tested positive for the XMRV retrovirus as well. It is estimated that 4% of the population has the retrovirus inside them, but they don't necessarily have chronic fatigue, so the link needs to be further developed. - 29964</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'><a target='_blank' href="http://chronicfatiguesyndromehelp.net/chronic_fatigue.php">Chronic fatigue</a> is a real illness that requires education and the right treatment methods.

The most common symptom is the widespread pain of the muscles, tendons and ligaments. Easy fatigability and focal tenderness are also common features of the disease. This is the most common cause of excruciating pain when you are affected with fibromyalgia.<br /> <br /> There is about 2% of the total population that is affected by FM. It is directly proportional to age and occurs more in women than in men. Most of the time, there is no triggering factor for FM to occur but the symptoms may appear after emotional or physical trauma.<br /> <br /> In the course of treating fibromyalgia, it cannot be avoided that we would feel frustrated because it can be complicated sometimes. The results of the treatment are most of the time not consistent. When you participate to ongoing research regarding this disorder, you will be able to see some of the innovative treatments. Some of these researches are based on survey alone but it can be the stepping stone for reaching the ultimate goal of discovering the treatment that will actually work.<br /> <br /> The focus of the treatment is always on the presence of the pain. It involves increasing the pain tolerance of the individual and includes the aggressive multidisciplinary interventions. The absence of the symptoms of FM is not indicator of success in treatment.<br /> <br /> The quality of life and tolerance for the symptoms are the measurement of the success of treatment. But, the best indicator of treatment success is being able to live a quality life. It is not unusual to experience that the disorder is not responding to treatment. Even if this is so, we know that it is not hard to address the symptoms of the disorder.<br /> <br /> During the treatment process, some of the patients may have significant relief of their symptoms. Some others will only have the relief in moderation while others will only report a little of no relief at all. This is just the nature of treatment. - 29964</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Learn more about <a target='_blank' href='http://rapidfibromyalgiarelief.com/'>fibromyalgia pain relief</a>.

There are ligaments, tendons and muscles holding the area in a ball and socket fashion. Unlike the hips and femurs, the shoulder is easier moved in all ranges of motion. This puts great physical stress on the joint which can cause shoulder issues.<br /> <br /> The muscles which hold the shoulder are fairly small and stretched in comparison to other joints, therefore they can be more susceptible to dislocating and causing pain. This is the reason the shoulder is one of the most oft injured areas.<br /> <br /> Look deeper into shoulder issues and patients may not even remember the incident which caused the pain. It could be a very timely trauma such as a car accident or sports injury. Sometimes it is poor positioning or repetitive microtrauma.<br /> <br /> A chiropractor can evaluate and look for signs in mobility of the shoulder and neck to identify the problem. Although the arms are used so many times per day, the shoulder can become frozen or cause problems with just a slight movement. A common problem is the rotator cuff, as this can cause major pain and needs to be properly addressed.<br /> <br /> As the shoulders are in close relation to the neck, which in turn is part of the spinal column, shoulder pain may be a secondary problem of spinal alignment. Using one of our chiropractic methods, we can assess, align and maintain a common balance for your well being. If the vertebrae or alignment is out of kilter, then this can have the knock on effect which can cause neck and shoulder pains. Headaches are also common with patients who are out of alignment.<br /> <br /> Many medical doctors and physicians refer patients towards medications or surgery. Unless there is a tear, this invasive practice or putting medications into your body can further upset the balance. There are so many risks with surgery, which occasionally have problems and medication only masks the pain. Chiropractors use knowledge and specific techniques to find the primary cause of the problem and create a thorough plan to help the body heal.<br /> <br /> At The Spinal Correction & Wellness Center, we have properly trained massage therapists and chiropractors who can help not only with the pain but create healing for the body.

A chiropractor can assess the damage, help correct the alignment of a patient and massage the location back in to better health. Shoulder pain is at times a secondary effect of a different problem. It could turn out the cervcial area or spine are at fault but the issue is felt more in the shoulder itself.

The Reasons Why Your Meds Are Causing Fatigue?<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Keith Woolley</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>This is exactly one of the questions you have to ask when you find out that your prescription medication you are taking to manage <a target='_blank' href="http://www.solgar.co.uk/notes2/boots/high-cholesterol-1028005/">cholesterol</a> is causing nutritive disparities in the body, which in turn may leave you feeling fatigued, forgetful and pretty lousy, without knowing why?<br /> <br /> If you've been feeling this way for a while and have no other known health issues that could have effects on your well-being, there is a good chance that your cholesterol medicine has pulled the plug on a critical nutrient your body needs to maintain vitality and keep that all-important spring in your step!<br /> <br /> <a target='_blank' href="http://www.solgar.co.uk/notes2/boots/coenzyme-q10-2831009/">CoQ10</a> has been represented as the biochemical spark plug and is also one of the most protective anti-ageing antioxidants to be uncovered. It's a naturally occurring substance that our body needs for our 'get up and go'. Each second, energy factories called mitochondria are working inside each one of the cells of our body, turning oxygen into pure energy, and CoQ10 has a mighty big role to play in this.<br /> <br /> The bad stories is, when you take certain medications to lower cholesterol, such as statin drugs, these block your body's production of CoQ10 and the longer you take these for, the older you are feeling and more beat you become. There you are going to the gym, eating a sensible healthy diet, doing all you can do to keep fit and healthy, without knowing that literally something has pulled out your spark plug.<br /> <br /> The center of the matter.. Clearly why we wish to lower cholesterol is to guard our heart, yes of course this helps in reducing cholesterol, however if our capability to produce CoQ10 is blocked, then this could have a negative effect on the heart. medical studies have shown that individuals with cardio aliments, for example angina, heart failure and coronary artery disease had a higher deficiency of CoQ10. Low CoQ10 implies your heart doesn't have enough energy or oxygen leading to lowered cellular energy and hence a weakly heart.<br /> <br /> The Medical reports World previously reported on a study that showed patients with congestive heart failure that took 100mg of CoQ10 every day for six weeks had improved cardiac function. nutritionists believe that CoQ10 is one of the most significant nutrients to help the heart function optimally.<br /> <br /> If you're on statin medication then you can take a CoQ10 supplement to support your fitness. Practitioners advise supplementing the diet with around 100m of CoQ10 every day. This can be taken once ( 50mg ) in the morning and again ( 50mg ) with lunch, split dose if regularly far better. Solgar Nutri-Nano CoQ10 is highly absorbable and gets working quickly. They use patented manufacturing that's unique and provides superior delivery of the nutrient. As it's so simply absorbed it can be more effective than other forms.<br /> <br /> What's more ...<br /> <br /> Co-Q10 is one of the most well investigated nutrient elements for safeguarding the body from age-related illness. <img src="http://www.solgar.co.uk/modules/shop/images/COQ10100.JPG">Thru its profound energising capability, Co-Q10 can protect from diabetes and gum diseases as well as improving fitness by accelerating our exercise endurance. Find it difficult to keep off those extra pounds? Co-Q10 is essential to help the body burn fat far more efficiently. As levels decline as we age, so do our energy levels and our ability to burn blubber. Co-Q10 is important for our power generation and essential for carbohydrate metabolism. Co-Q10 helps breakdown fat better because it releases energy by burning up fat off, instead of storing it, especially around the middle of the body. One study of folk on a low fat diet who took CoQ10 doubled their weight reduction when compared with those that did not use it.<br /> <br /> Another big health problem in the united kingdom is diabetes type two. Co-Q10 is shown to govern blood sugar and helps to lower glucose and insulin. In a double-blind trial patients with high blood pressure who were taking medication were given Co-Q10, which led to lower glucose and insulin as well as reduced blood pressure and triglycerides and HDL ( good cholesterol ) went up.<br /> <br /> Up the Anti!<br /> <br /> As well as using <a target='_blank' href="http://www.solgar.co.uk/product/solgar-nutri-nano-coq10-E916.html?catid=18">Co- Q10</a> daily- one of the most powerful, effective and protecting antioxidants for good health. If you want to stop the ageing process and keep the body in tip top condition, manage stress levels, be positive and invest in a healthy controlled diet with lots of fresh air, moderate exercise, fresh fruits and vegetables. Make sure you get a good intake of essential fatty acids ( omega 3-6-9 ) from nuts, seeds and oily fish. Daily juicing is a way of getting vitamins, minerals and antioxidants into the diet. To keep the heart healthy and you ecstatic, try bouncing back 15 mins a day to get the body moving if you are not hot for the gym. This is way better to keep you going, than any doctor's prescription! - 29964</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Keith Woolley is Technical Director for On-line Stores.

Fibromyalgia is a physical problem distinguished by continual tenderness within muscles and joints, with weakness and sensitivity at explicit areas within the body. It is displayed as a condition because it does not give an explicit sign or cause, but a bunch of signs and conditions that are revealed as one. It produces widespread soreness, excessive tender spots, uneasy sleep, and dramatic weariness. People beleaguered with fibromyalgia observe it hard to clarify, as the painfulness appears to move around or is in all places at the same moment. It may be situated above the waist, below the waist, and everywhere in between. It has been described as numbing, aching, pins and needles, and soreness to the point that simply a hug or handshake produces pain. Many pain conditions co-exist with fibromyalgia, so diagnosis can take time and be very frustrating. For people who think they are prisoners in their own body, creating a program to <b>eliminate fibromyalgia</b> accomplishes an ending to tenderness and isolation.<br /> <br /> Continual pervasive tenderness is the foremost warning sign of fibromyalgia. Furthermore, many fibromyalgia conditions transpire in concert with other syndromes. People will feel devastating weakness, drained of all energy. Sleeplessness and sleep disorder, such as falling asleep and staying asleep, grow to be a vicious cycle. Pain is a regular everyday event. Focusing and recall troubles happen, additionally called "Fibro Fog". Other conditions are trouble in training, irritable bowel syndrome, recurrent facial/jaw pain, stress headaches, and restless leg syndrome. The tender spots on the body are located in the neck, shoulder, hip, knee and elbow regions where simply a slight degree of pressure may induce sensitivity. The symptoms of this syndrome are erratic and may be trying. Individuals who suffer from it aim to <b>eliminate fibromyalgia</b> and the angst and dejection that accompanies it.<br /> <br /> Other persistent problems contain similar conditions that overlap with fibromyalgia. It was a study finished in'90 by the American College of Rheumatology that incorporated fibromyalgia as a recognized tangible illness that might be distinguished from Additional pain problems. They were able to demonstrate with 88% accuracy people with fibromyalgia. Certain researchers are not conscious of what really causes fibromyalgia. It is probable that a quantity of reasons may stimulate the predicament. Several of these reasons consist of heredity, injury or shock, infection and rheumatic disease. Persistent troubled slumber patterns, gender, age and psychological and emotional stress are additional reasons. Things such as worry, stress, sadness, bodily tiredness and just differences in the weather will make the soreness worse. Since women are more likely than men to develop this syndrome, it is in their best interest that a solution to <b>eliminate fibromyalgia</b> is found.<br /> <br /> There are no ideal tests used to identify fibromyalgia. The soreness will not reveal itself on x-rays or blood tests. Medical specialists create healing recommendations based on physical tests and past check ups.. They rely on the specifications established by the American College of Rheumatology for a diagnosis of fibromyalgia. These maintain consistent tenderness for at least 3 months in the upper and lower body. A person ought to experience tenderness or pain in at least 11 of the' separate tender spots when pressure is applied. Diagnosis is not easy as physicians should originally rule out additional syndromes so as to mimic fibromyalgia, and even though soreness is the primary warning sign, people may feel their tenderness distinctly. To <b>eliminate fibromyalgia</b> one must gain a better comprehension of this painful condition.<br /> <br /> Controlling the soreness is the initial goal to reach. This may mean traditional and alternative remedies. Several people learn they may manage their pain with light doses of antidepressant drugs, though not recommended because of nasty side effects. Some develop better control from training and hydrotherapy. Therapeutic massage helps alleviate the ache and muscle strain as well as damp heat applications which may help stiffness. To manage the stress is extremely critical in gaining control. Anxiety can escalate the soreness in the tender spots and reduce the power to manage the pain. It is essential to get adequate time-out each day of the week, and nearly all people get other assistance from deep breathing exercises and relaxation techniques. Additional recommendations that may assist to <b>eliminate fibromyalgia</b> forever comprise ending nervousness, getting adequate sleep, and keeping a healthy lifestyle.<br /> <br /> About 2% of the people inside America and many worldwide suffer from fibromyalgia. People in this sizable community of fibromyalgia sufferers do well as soon as they get assistance from each other and their acquaintances.

An estimated 80% of people have experienced it at one point or another in their lives. Many of those people have discovered adrenal fatigue supplements as a way to help recover from the debilitating syndrome.<br /> <br /> Although supplements have been shown to aid in recovery from adrenal fatigue, many take them without first consulting with their doctor. Although doctors are notorious for overlooking the symptoms of adrenal fatigue and dismissing them as unimportant, it is still a good idea to visit your doctor just in case something else if wrong.<br /> <br /> When considering adrenal supplements keep in mind that adrenal fatigue is more often than not caused by neglecting health and stress recover. Often it is due primarily to poor lifestyle and a diet filled with sugar, fats, caffeine, and other stimulants. This is further complicated in that most of us don't receive enough nutrients or vitamins. This explains why our adrenal glands give out, and we begin feeling extreme tiredness no matter what we do.<br /> <br /> Other symptoms that manifest in severe cases of adrenal fatigue are depression, low blood sugar, anxiety, low blood pressure, increased PMS, mental fog, and inability to recover quickly from simple respiratory illnesses like the cough or the flu.<br /> <br /> If it has been confirmed that you indeed have adrenal fatigue, a change in lifestyle should be in order. You may need anywhere from a few months to even a number of years to completely adjust to new and less stressful habits and routines.<br /> <br /> Supplements help and are absolutely necessary for a complete treatment of the syndrome, however by themselves are typically not enough. Because our diets rarely contain all the required nutrients for a rich and healthy diet, we need to take supplements to make up the difference. Specifically with adrenal fatigue, there are specific nutrients and vitamins that are absolutely essential to full recovery.<br /> <br /> While taking supplements, alter your diet as well. Make sure to get enough vitamin c, protein, and complex carbs. Also stay away from foods rich in sugar, alcohol, and caffeine. Mostly however, eat foods closer to its original form and get plenty of fresh vegetables of different colors. - 29964</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Gerry Geneva a personal energy coach and expert.

Are you really trying hard to organize yourself and plan for everyday things? Have you experienced the burden of all the things that you have to do and is just fed up of being reminded all the time? There are a lot of busy people nowadays, which have 2 or 3 jobs and just making it a point that they are reminded of that things that they need to do. This will eventually get to you and your adrenal fatigue nutrition.<br /> <br /> Prioritization and being on top of everything is their number one priority. They even go to great lengths of doing everything all at once just to save time for other tasks. But this kind of approach is suicidal, because too much focusing and putting stress on yourself will do a great toll on your body. These will eventually backfire and cause a greater damage to your health.<br /> <br /> See, if your' the type of person who is very sensitive with people's impression of you, the idea of failing alone will cause anxiety, and because of this you might not be able to perform well anyway. Some people even obsess about the importance of whatever it is that you're about to undertake and the result is you visualizing failure, too much self-pressure and a certain form of restlessness. Whenever you find yourself pressuring yourself too hard, shift your focus. Also, try on new stuff to perk you up on a regular basis to prevent being stuck with same old things all the time. The important thing is to have a positive aura in all of these.<br /> <br /> Putting too much pressure on yourself, will lead to health issues that even your body couldn't take it. You have to learn to divide your time and relax once in a while to relieve the pressure and stress that you have. Get involved in other activities that appeal to you as this will also keep you from being bored. As a whole, do things in a positive way that lightens your life.<br /> <br /> You can also take adrenal fatigue supplements to help you through the stress that you have taken in accomplishing this. - 29964</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Pamela Adams is a stress consultant who specializes in <a target='_blank' href="http://www.myadrenalfatigue.com">adrenal fatigue</a>.

If it becomes more of a habit than an occasional occurrence, perhaps you need to analyze your lifestyle - you may be doing some things that sap your energy. Here are just seven things to watch out for:<br /> <br /> Being addicted to email. If you think about it, this may seem pretty harmless. Checking your email a lot has become normal in modern society. However, when you become a slave to email and you check it every 5 minutes, then there is something wrong. The constant back in forth not only lowers your productivity, but it also causes you to mentally wear out faster. Research has shown that if you can focus on specific tasks completely and batch similar processes, you will have much more energy. So instead of living with your email client open, close it except for 3 or 4 times during the day when you will check your email.<br /> <br /> A lot of clutter. If you're moving around in an environment that's far from orderly, you may already have feelings of anxiety - even before your work starts. Start with a clean and well-organized desk; it will do wonders in helping you boost your energy.<br /> <br /> No excitement in your life. Boredom could be contributing to your lack of energy. Its important to the quality of your life as well as your energy levels that you do something exciting and that you really enjoy at least once a week. Many recommend that you do something fun everyday for maximum benefit. Try to incorporate this into your daily routine. For instance, if you travel a lot, make a goal to play golf at various popular courses as you travel around the country. Add some spice to your life, you will feel the surge of energy and excitement come back to you.<br /> <br /> Slouching can cause tiredness. When you sit in front of a computer for long periods of time like we all tend to do these days, you may notice a lack of energy. Much of that is due to poor posture. Along with other back and neck problems, slouching can cause you to not take in as much oxygen as you need. Also it causes your muscles to remain contracted which restricts blood flow. Make sure to watch your posture. Bonus tip: try to get up every 90 minutes or so to stretch and get some water (not soda, coffee, or anything else... just water).<br /> <br /> Not getting outside. If you always find yourself stuck in your office for stretches of several hours or more, then you'll observe that you're likewise getting tired faster and faster as the days progress. Just because you have a heavy workload doesn't mean you have to stay glued to your seat all the time. Learn to take breathers and go outdoors for short walks. The fresh air helps and so does the vitamin D from the sun.<br /> <br /> Eating too much. We live in a time when food is in abundance here in America. While eating food is key to getting enough energy, too much a good thing can harm you. When we eat too much, we get lethargic and a lot of bodily functions slow down to make energy for digestion. Furthermore, we generally eat way too much, which comes with its set of health problems. Most Americans could get by on half the food they eat. If you want to really benefit from eating just the right amounts and at the right times try a new concept called energy eating. Try to eat every 2-3 hours and make every meal about 300-500 calories. When you eat, eat as if you are tiding yourself for the next couple of hours only. Don't try to get full. When you energy eat, you'll notice your metabolism skyrocket which will melt off excess fat and help your energy levels increase.<br /> <br /> Negative people. For me this is a big one. Some people are just a drain to be around. They really can suck the life right out of you. For your energy, success, and motivation, try to avoid these types of people. Instead seek out and hang around with people that uplift, are good natured, and optimistic. We often underestimate how much we are affected by our spirit and emotions. Negative people will drain your energy, while positive people will contribute to your energy reserves. - 29964</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Gerry Geneva is a personal energy coach and expert.

It is a condition that was once thought to be psychological because no specific symptom or cause could be identified. Therefore it is called a syndrome rather than a disease. Fibromyalgia is characterized by widespread pain in ligaments and tendons, with painful response to pressure. There are multiple tender points on the body where even the slightest amount of pressure will cause debilitating pain. Today the medical community is inclined to believe that there may be a real basis for the physical pain, which might be the result of prolonged psychological stress. <b>Conquering fibromyalgia</b> is possible, but only with a better understanding of this complex pain disorder.<br /> <br /> <b>What Are the Symptoms of Fibromyalgia?</b><br /> <br /> Fibromyalgia causes achiness and pain all over. The tender points on the body may be painful to the slightest touch. Severe fatigue, sleep disturbances, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic headaches, and jaw pain are some of the symptoms of this disorder. Others include joint stiffness, anxiety, numbness or tingling in the fingers and feet, and depression. Many other chronic pain illnesses have symptoms that mimic fibromyalgia. In'90, The American College of Rheumatology conducted a study that evaluated individuals suffering from neck pain, low back pain, tendinitis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and other painful disorders. They were able to pinpoint those who had fibromyalgia with 88% accuracy. The study concluded that this condition is a known physical disorder that could be distinguished from other pain disorders. <b>Conquering fibromyalgia</b> forever is a goal that all individuals suffering from this condition wish to attain.<br /> <br /> Diagnosing fibromyalgia is difficult because it has been considered a non-disease, and there is no conclusive test to diagnose the disorder. Several criteria are used. Tender points are sites used to apply slight pressure to initiate pain. There are' different sites used for diagnosis. The cause of the pressure points is not known, but they do cause pain and discomfort. Inflammation seems to be part of the problem, but when tissue has been examined no signs of inflammation have been found. Physicians rely on medical and family history and physical examination to pinpoint fibromyalgia and to make treatment recommendations. The American college of Rheumatology published a study in'90, which is considered the benchmark for the inclusion of fibromyalgia as a known physical disorder. The study involved patients suffering from pain problems that mimicked fibromyalgia. They were able to distinguish fibromyalgia from other chronic pain illnesses with 88% accuracy.<br /> <br /> <b>Causes</b><br /> <br /> People who suffer from fibromyalgia have found specific factors that worsen their pain. Certain individuals are at higher risk because of gender, age, disturbed sleep patterns, family history and rheumatic disease. Other factors include stress and anxiety, depression or physical exhaustion, lack of sleep and restless leg syndrome. Researchers tend to believe that it could be a variety of factors working together, such as genetics, infections, and physical or emotional trauma. Women are more likely than men to develop fibromyalgia, so for them <b>conquering fibromyalgia </b>now is of particular concern to them.<br /> <br /> <b>Some Recommendations</b><br /> <br /> When an individual is suffering from fatigue and the lack of sleep because of the pain, they are looking for some relief. <b>Conquering fibromyalgia</b> forever is possible and pain management is the first goal in treating this disorder. A program using both traditional and alternative therapies can be involved in the treatment. Some individuals find that low doses of antidepressants control their pain very well. Therapeutic massage helps ease the pain and daily moist heat applications benefits joint stiffness. Others get better control from stress management, exercise and hydrotherapy. Managing stress is very important, because stress increases pain over tender points and decreases the ability to cope with pain. Taking time each day for rest and relaxation will reduce the stress. Another recommendation includes maintaining a healthy lifestyle by getting enough sleep and exercising regularly.<br /> <br /> <b>Who can help?</b><br /> <br /> There are millions of people worldwide who suffer from fibromyalgia. They do best when supported by each other and family and friends. This condition causes depression and social isolation. Help and advice can be found in organizations such as the Arthritis Foundation and the American Chronic Pain Association. They provide classes and access to support groups where individuals find each other and know they are not alone in this fight in <b>conquering fibromyalgia</b> forever.<br /> <br /> Fibromyalgia is a condition characterized by widespread muscle and joint pain. The cause is unknown and the symptoms are many. Because it is a syndrome, many symptoms occur at the same time, making diagnosis difficult. It is an ongoing disorder looking for a solution. - 29964</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Before you purchase anything online regarding <a target='_blank' href="http://tinyurl.com/y8wq9go">conquering fibromyalgia</a>, check out Tre Pleggi's excellent research on ways to cure it.

I have received tremendous amount of feedback from several who have either tried my products, expecting little to no relief (due to the lack of success of so many other products they've tried before mine).<br /> <br /> I really take to heart the feedback telling me that not only where my products easy to use with no nasty side effects, but that they also did the one thing so many other products promise but fail to deliver - they brought relief and improved my clients' health.<br /> <br /> Additionally, I have received questions from people curious, but jaded, almost desperately asking why my products can help.<br /> <br /> While my products have helped many with high blood pressure, weight loss and headaches to name a few, the overwhelming despair has been with certain conditions which have so afflicted people that over time, that the physical drain has evolved into a major depression.<br /> <br /> Fibromyalgia is one such condition. Fibromyalgia is a puzzling disease because each of its symptoms alone can be attributed to other conditions. Symptoms include pain in muscles, joints and other soft tissues (including the nerves and face), severe fatigue, sensitivity to touch, bowel disturbances, chest pain, vision problems, dizziness and trouble concentrating.<br /> <br /> The difference between Fibromyalgia and a lot of the conditions whose symptoms it can share is that Fibromyalgia has no official cause. This is why so many doctors are quick to dismiss the condition as something else and when that finally fails, they will attribute it to "all in your head."<br /> <br /> Would it astonish you to learn it takes five years on an average to be diagnosed with fibromyalgia? FIVE YEARS!!! I have trouble imagining five hours of the chronic symptoms listed above, let alone years.<br /> <br /> This is why the emotional toll is so great. Imagine not wanting to leave your house to work or do any other type of social interaction due to the fact that your pain response is so heightened that even shaking hands or the casual pat on the back is unbearable.<br /> <br /> We are social animals so that alone can bring about depression. Even if you were to "manage" the symptoms enough to be around others - how long before you've alienated yourself from others because they either don't sympathize with your condition or as so many times happens, your distress is infectious and people feel like they need a break from you?<br /> <br /> Hopefully, all of you have an excellent support system of people in place but even with that, pain is a negative feeling and quite naturally brings about negative feelings such as frustration, sadness, anger and hopelessness.<br /> <br /> Keep in mind this doesn't happen overnight. Just as fibromyalgia is a chronic condition which oftentimes worsens over time, depression can build and build and before you know it, your depression and your fibromyalgia are so intertwined that you can't separate the two.<br /> <br /> I take you back now to my first comments about feedback from my clients. My programs have helped so many, I am entirely confident in advocating them to you. If fibromyalgia is taking both a physical and emotional damage on your health, please give my product a chance to make a change!<br /> <br /> EL331004 - 29964</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Christian Goodman has dedicated his life to <a target='_blank' href="http://ChristianGoodman.com">Alternative health</a> research and found solutions to many serious conditions.

Insulin is a critical chemical in the body which helps turn sugar and starches into energy the human body can use. When a person has diabetes his or her body has a difficult time producing enough insulin.

Here are some of the more common symptoms of diabetes:<br /> <br /> Excessive Hunger and Thirst: Because diabetes affects how your body digests and handles food, you may actually feel more hungry after a big meal than before you began eating. Thirst may also be increased due to sugar building up in you body. Since your body won't be able to handle the sugar your kidneys will have to work overtime. The increased sugar will leave your body as urination, which may leave you dehydrated and wanting more to drink. <br /> <br /> Excessive urination: This is sometimes more difficult to notice because different people do urinate at different rates.

Some natural cures include herbal remedies considered harmless to most people including chamomile tea and lemon balm. One must pay close attention that not all natural cures are considered safe. Herbal remedies sometimes contain prescription medicines, and due to their classification, are not always regulated.<br /> <br /> Herbal remedies such as valerian root, kava kava, chamomile, lemon balm, St. John's wort and passion flower have been used as insomnia cures for years. Please note the effectiveness and safety of these remedies has not been formally documented nor researched. Existing studies completed on herbal remedies are often hard to interpret. Since they are not based on standardized studies like those done for prescription drugs as prescribed by regulatory bodies such as the FDA.<br /> <br /> Melatonin is often used by insomnia sufferers as a sleep aid. The substance melatonin is a hormone manufactured by a gland in the brain called the pineal gland and is derived from an amino acid called tryptophan. Synthetically made melatonin is used for a number of medical situations, such as an insomnia cure. Of the herbal remedies, melatonin is the most studied natural cure for insomnia, however it still remains unregulated in the United States. Proof of its effects as an insomnia cure still remains inconclusive. Existing studies revealed that people do fall asleep faster while taking melatonin, however there is no effect on the duration of sleep time or decreasing sleepiness during daytime hours.<br /> <br /> It is important to stress that melatonin is not categorized as a drug, but rather a dietary supplement, and therefore its effectiveness and quality is not controlled in the United States. (Of the developed nations in the world, the U.S. does not regulate melatonin). Melatonin is a strong hormone and it may produce significant side effects, some are still not known, affecting various parts of the body. Since so much is unknown, people taking melatonin as an insomnia cure are experimenting with their own body.<br /> <br /> Natural remedies are not regulated by the FDA and therefore their quality is not controlled. Additionally, if body chemistry can be altered by a given compound, then the potential for serious side effects is present. Even if studies show natural remedies have a positive effect, it is important to note that the tested substances are not always the same ones available to the public. Also, herbal remedies were sometimes found to contain standard prescription drugs.<br /> <br /> Whether natural or chemical, one should not be compelled to use drugs as insomnia cures.
