Fibromyalgia is a term used by certain physicians as a catch-all diagnosis for basic symptoms. Fibro- the term used to identify the location of the dysfunction, my- referring to muscle tissue specifically, and algia- indicates a painfull condition. This essentiall leads to a perfectly ambiguous diagnosis of "Muscle Fiber pain". In my opinion, as a medical professional is that this diagnosis is used for people who KNOW that there is something wrong with them but most doctors won't put their thinking caps on and try to figure out what is REALLY the cause. So they use the term "Fibromyalgia" as a shortcut. Insurance companies are tired of paying for expensive diagnostic tools and pressure the medical community into making a diagnosis so that they can pay for palliative treatment.
What causes Fibromyalgia? no one knows because no one has been able to discover the root cause. I personnaly reccoment that you have your doctor refer your daughter to an Endocrinologist and/or a Hematologist for further testing. There are so many obscure causes for symptoms, and medicine has divided itself so successfully that you have to keep looking for specialists until you find one that stumbles on the problem. Ask them to check her for Acute Intermittent Porphyria. That will at least give them someting to look for. It's only a beginning, but I wish you the best of luck, and I admire you for sticking with her!

Hi, Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that is characterized by pain in specific parts of the body. This pain can make everyday tasks difficult and can even cause trouble sleeping and depression. I would prefer you a site called www DOT fibromyalgiacured DOT com It has a five step plan that eliminates fatigue and soothes your muscle pain.
Take care, bye! | |
