Hi can you please help me to cure my pain in pelvic bone area I have all types of treatments.
I’m unable to get to the full video. Help please ❤
There is something wrong with the connection to your other part.
My cousin is suffering crippling pain and needs help. No Dr in town has been able to help her and she's getting progressively worse and has lost a lot of weight and even her hair is falling out. Please help!
@@lisabeed6001 Yes! Please fix it.
Thank you 🙏
the cause of fibromialgia: Stress and being toooo nice! Stop caring for others and put yourself at the center of your life. I wish we all heal😢
yes , thts true. we all have the same characteristics, people with fybro, we are very caring, creative, sensitive, and loyal and loving and this world is to abrasive for us
what a dumb comment
This is so true.
Yes, I was thinking that it had something to do with your comment. Along with serious injury and / or domestic abuse. I know a few individuals who have this, and both have been through serious domestic violence situations. Also, I have been going through a lot of pain recently.
@saminjoon3409 I certainly hope your comment was a joke. If not you need to be very careful about the words you speak pertaining to fibro.
I'm only 22 but I've been living with fibromyalgia for now 4 years and only been diagnosed a couple of weeks ago. The massive muscle tightness and knots all over my back, neck and trapezius are insane. You can feel and see every group of muscle fiber stiff as a rock. The pain is unbearable and I can affirm you, it is a physical pain also.
It's very sad you diagnosed so late... ofcourse there is so much about physical... you can't treat but you can control it if you and you physio know your body well... it's long term treatment....w have to work on muscles tightness moblity strength diet sleep meditation....just change your lifestyle it's difficult it gonna take time money and patience but worth it
Not a medical advice, but my neighbor recovered after 2 weeks of cold water dips. She had been in pain for 5 years before that.
I have been living it from past 8 years
I’m not sure if you’re a man or a woman but if you’re a man I’d say get your levels checked, low testosterone and high oestrogen make these conditions worse. Don’t go to a GP or an endocrinologist they’re mostly useless. Pay for private cover through a private clinic. If they tell you your levels should be this, it’s bs you start at a low dose and work your way up to the feel good dose and blood work on point.
Cold plunge, hot plunge and sauna work wonders. I take nandrolone for pain relief and it works for me.
Have you ever faced mould if you do then you have the answer and most illnesses come from environmentally. For example food, medicine, chemical exposure, lifestyle, (fungal-mould) toxicity and many more ways. If you type mould on the Internet you will find very minimum information so type fungal or fungus
It is a disease of the neurological system. But, no one will listen😢
I agree
Yes, because most Fibro is from insulin resistance. It damages the CNS & PNS. Don't suffer any longer; Undo the Hyperinsulinemia damage: 1) GRADUALLY more unrefined whole foods & water. More Fiber, Protein, fill with Fats. Cut the sugar & man-made foods. 2) Strength training + cardio most days, less sitting more exercise GRADUALLY. 3) get quality sleep, and don't stress so much!
They really dont. They really dont even believe us
How to cure it??
@@educationalhub9521Regulating the nervous system and brain retraining. Try meditation, yoga, EMDR, psychedelics, neurofeedback. Also eating an anti-inflammatory diet: gluten, dairy, soy, grains are generally the most sensitive. The root cause of fibromyalgia is trauma, so working with a holistic therapist is great as well.
Who else gets breathlessness with fibromyalgia?
Me but I never got diagnosed 😢
Ruth can you tell me what your patterns of breathlessness are?? I have awful shortness of breath and long covid was the culprit now they’re saying I may have autoimmune..
Yes, I do and know others that do too. Fibromyalgia is an autoimmune disease that attacks virtually every part of the body. Until doctors get it , we will all suffer. So far living a toxin free environment is the best strategy but that is not easy or cheap. I am sick of the professionals misguiding this misunderstood disease.
@@shelley7209I have autoimmune to I was also wondering what she means by it
@@shelley7209ofc I also have fibro
I think the health community is somewhat wrong about this. I have extremely tight musckes that nees to be stretched every morning. It is physical. My nervous system is on fire, and theres LOTS of physical and just pain symptoms. Muscle, joint, and nerve pain in skin. Its insane. But anyone explaining this who doesnt experience these horrors, cannot tell me what it is. No its not just pain. Muscles are extremely tight.
Most Fibro is actually from insulin resistance, so this makes sense. Don't suffer any longer; undo the Hyperinsulinemia damage: 1) GRADUALLY more unrefined whole foods & water. More Fiber, Protein, fill with Fats. Cut the sugar & man-made foods. 2) Strength training + cardio most days, less sitting more exercise GRADUALLY. And keep enjoying those stretches! 3) get quality sleep, and don't stress so much!
Do you feel burning on the upper back ?
@@Acts-1322you’re absolutely right this is what works for me. Especially ever since I went sugar and dairy free. I feel like a new born 😮
Feels like my spine is burning, especially my thoracic, and shoulders and elbows, and knees and esophagus, stomach.
Burning and, stinging, luckily my doctors get it because, I have a Skelto muscular disease, which, I got diagnosed with Scleroderma at the age of 30, then, several yrs later, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia will,here I am much older and several yrs ago, my PCP led to the convulsion with all what had been going on that my fibro was getting progressively worse! A lot of the fibro meds tend to not work if your sensitive to meds like me and, the only solution ends up being is upping meds your already on and then, a medication that helps with my hand pain helps to ease a lot of that burning and stinging pain.
She is right. The root cause is nervous system dysregulation from trauma, chronic stress & anxiety and suppressed emotions, the limbic system and nervous system control every other system in the body
Please elaborate. How does it deliberately cause neuropathic dysfunction?
Not really haha
@@RaidONE4theONEall pain comes from the brain, when the brain feels over worked or over taxes by stress, emotions, trauma it can send pain any and everywhere in the body- muscular, tendon, nerve pain etc.. it’s called “mind body syndrome” check out the work of DR Sarno, and other tension-myositis doctors. Lots of good advice and success stories from people recovering from chronic pain.
@@RaidONE4theONEIt's a malfunction in the system
There’s literally people who don’t experience these things and still have fibromyalgia tho…
How does the problem in the pain system account for all the other symptoms of fibro? For example: muscle stiffness, sleep disturbances, eye and mouth dryness, digestive issues and memory issues, to name but a few.
The root cause is nervous system dysregulation from trauma, chronic stress & anxiety and suppressed emotions, the limbic system and nervous system control every other system in the body
That didn't answer his question. I also have this same question/concern too. I was diagnosed with it but have so many other symptoms. I was diagnosed in 10 minutes with a pressure point test and told to take antidepressants even though I have no medical history pertaining to serotonin dysregulation.
Some antidepressants have a side effect of relaxing muscles and muscle spasms so your doctor might not necessarily be prescribing for anything linked to serotonin but rather as a way of getting muscles to stop being cramped/tight which sets off the pain cycle/spiral.
Its basically because of the side effects of a body that lives with pain. The muscle tightness, pain response, also miosfacial pain because pain makes the fascia thicker which causes the fascia not to move correctly. Brain fog, because pain is the 1st sympton you process cognitively so in a flare up your brain is overflown with processing the pain. There are braim differences in fibro patients and chemical imbalance so more P (pain) chemicals lower serotonin and others that calm down the pain.
I strongly advise Tammy Stackelhouse's podcast on audible, it's all about fibro and brings in specialists. It has been a very helpful resource for me.
Ps: forgot the digestive part - the intestines are like a second brain and are connected to the "main brain" so pain also makes it easier to get irritable bowel syndrome and others.
Because those are all regulated by the nervous system. The autonomic nervous system. Think about how your body responds to stress whether its environmental, emotional, or physical. If your nervous system isn't able to regulate itself because of always being in fight or flight mode, its like scrambling the messages so much that it no longer is able to receive and send nerve impulses to the parts of the body to do their specific functions.
Fibromyalgia is terrible it's all kind of pain and problems also flare ups rib pain inflammation and so much more it's terrible pain unbelievable
Don't suffer any longer! Reverse the insulin resistance. 1) GRADUALLY more unrefined whole foods & water. More Fiber, Protein, fill with Fats. Cut the sugar & man-made foods. 2) Strength training + cardio most days, less sitting more exercise GRADUALLY. 3) get quality sleep
@@Acts-1322how to cure it please help me
Are you coming out from it?? How you manage it
@@educationalhub9521 read my comment above
I have Fibromyalgia. It is based upon an imbalance between gaba and glutamate. My channel will be out soon, and I being a University Lecturer and researcher will explain properly and finally help people. drs no nothing.
Oh this sounds intriguing! Is it a deficiency of gaba or glutamate?
I would be very interested in watching your channel about this topic when you get it up and running.
I would have to agree with you on your opinion.My experience started after I stopped taking a benzo that down regulates, Gabe receptors and causes an abundance of glutamate. We all know the dead drug is a central nervous system decompression and down regulate Gabe receptors.
Thank you Dr. Furlan, I've had fibromyalgia for many years, and you are absolutely right, the pain system is the one that messes up everything unfortunately 😢
You are very welcome
Which test should be done for fibromyalgia
You need to ask your doctor to test you for any type of infection by performing blood and urine culture and sensitive test in order to find out what germ causing you to get sick and what meds you need to get cured
Does anyone have tender spots on their scalp??????
Thank you for your comment. That is a good question/suggestion for a future video.
Have you seen my website yet? Check it out www.doctorandreafurlan.com
Yes 😢
Yes i have it sometimes too, maybe 3 days and than it goes away.
Nope, its not the 'pain system', like what is that?? The 'pain system '??? Fibrimylgia is pain of muscle and connective tissue, ligaments, tendons and the pain is body wide! It's typical of a doctor to say this about fibromylgia! Do you all think that those of us with Fibro don't know the type if pain we have and the severity of it, you think you know more than people suffering with Fibro know!!
Hi Susan, if you never heard of a pain system, maybe it is time for you to learn about it. It has been discovered 60 years ago and in the past 30 years there has been a lot of scientific studies about it. www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/B9780123742452000255
Hello Susan, as a person with Fibromyalgia I understand your frustration. But I believe what Dr.Furlan is saying about the pain system is that it's not actual damage to the muscles, tendons and ect. but rather how the brain interprets pain signals to the body through certain pathways. I've seen a neurologist and rheumatologist and both told me that they don't know much about fibro, but what they do know is that 1. A signal is over firing and 2. The siganl is somehow disrupted. I've gotten MRI neck/spine, muscle and nerve conduction test and many more test and all came back normal. The pain and fatigue is 100% real but according to the specialist I've seen, the pain signals are amplified, making the pain much greater and lasting. Hope this makes sense and helps clear some confusion. Fibro is horrible/complex and science have some ways to go to find us proper treatment. Best of health to you.
@@joser83111hi I’m curious , if you had any pain that felt like they were coming from the bones (along with the rest of your pain). I can’t see a doctor until another two weeks and I’m having some very strange pains all over my body since mid Nov and I can’t tell exactly if some of the pain is coming from deep within the tissues closest to the bones or if I’m feeling bone pain. Some are more obvious that it’s from the bones themselves , such as my shins since I don’t have much flesh on them so it can’t really be muscle pain. Other places I’ve felt such as lower rib pain. I’ve never had such persistent and potentially serious health issues in my life until these past few months. My worst fear is that it’s cancer. I’ve started taking some vitamin D along with vitamin K2 since early February thinking maybe it’s a D deficiency (which I did test for before starting supplementation and it came back low, I forget the exact number ) so my pain should be better by now if it was being caused by a D deficiency but I can’t say it’s really made a lot of difference . So now my mind is going into paranoia thinking it must be bone cancer or leukemia or lymphoma . The pain just seems to vary in location and intensity day to day . For example today , almost all day my left arm biceps have been aching dully. Again I can’t tell if it’s my arm bone or muscle/tissue but it’s a very unpleasant feeling . Plus a mildly sore throat the past two or three days for no apparent reason . These are very scary symptoms when they seem to happen from no apparent reason .
@SleeplessinOC Hi, I'm so sorry I've only seen your message now, I'm sure you're only a day or two from seeing your doctor at this point. I have to say I would experience pain that I feel is coming from deep inside, when you say shins, yes deffo pain there and shoulders. There's another condition, which I also have, called Polymylgia, which is deep pain of the bigger muscles, and deffo feels a deeper type of pain, steroids are required for this, and infact the only way to diagnosis really, as when you start on steroids it takes the pain away. I really, really hope you get some answers to your questions. It's very scary and frustrating not having answers and for yoir mond to wander💕
@@susanwaters2662Most Fibro is from insulin resistance. Don't suffer any longer; undo the Hyperinsulinemia damage to your nerves: 1) GRADUALLY more unrefined whole foods & water.

Many cases are related to upper cervical instability (in my case one of my root causes was breaking my collar bone in childhood) which can lead to your C1 being out of axis and interfering with nerve and blood flow (disrupting CBS and ANS signals) so the body throws up the alarm signal constantly and acutely.
Upper cervical instability also leads nervous system malfunction throughout the body including with the vagus nerve with regulates flight and flight so long story short this is where trauma, anxiety, and depression play a role in the disorder.
I just love how we are to assume that all of these comments are by experts. Know your sources.
The Internet is a place where every person think they are experts.
But what about the inflammation, the really tight muscles and sensitive trigger points? Why are the points all along my body so painful and causing pain around the area where they exist? Why are my calf and forearm and back muscles so so tight, spine covered in trigger points and hands too? Why is there a repeated inflammation in my forearm and wrist, specially where the trigger points exist? Forget pain,these are actual physical symptoms

Wow, this is the best explanation ever! I can’t wait to watch more of your videos. Finally someone explains it so simply yet accurately. Thank you.
Thank you for your feedback.
Does anyone suffer with painful hips sore all over chest/stomach? I suffer with with herniated discs as is so I don't know . My legs and arms are very bad to just nothing in them and constant pain
yes my friend, my hips and lower back have always been the worst affected for me. Sending love and healing hugs xo
yes, hips and lower back are the worst. My cat steps on either of those in the middle of the night and I nearly jump 5 feet straight up, screaming.
Yes I have extreme pain in my hips and ribs. And difficulty breathing. Stay strong 💪 ❤
I’ve always had lower body pain. Hips, knees, leg bones, now my ankles and feet have become painfully agonizing. I have pain in the ribs, upper and lower back come on over the last 9 yrs. Over the last year my shoulders have begun to hurt and be sore. My neck and shoulders are rock hard! 😔 in the 12 yrs since I’ve been diagnosed it’s just been downhill!
I've got diagnosed with fibromyalgia 2 days ago . Suffered with 3 herniated discs but the last two almost 3 years now I've been suffering with painful stomach just pain all over at random times but always have pain really . Finally a doctor said its fibromyalgia which is great to finally know but it's rough
hiya I was diagnosed at 29 after being in hospital with chickenpox pneumonia and almost kicking the bucket lol anyway just wanted to say you are not alone . Sending love and gentle healing hugs my friend xo
Pneumonia I had that without knowing at home . Well I think it was as I was frozen to the bone for 2 weeks . Went to bed a night and shivered to the point my whole body was shaking bad . Went away for 3 days and came back again for 2 more weeks. Appreciate your words tho 🙏👍
If you really wanna get better learn about gluten, dairy etc
@@wasabi333elaborate please
You explain things so wonderfully Dr. Furlan! I don't understand why most traditional Drs don't seem to. All they do for me is to "treat"the pain. But like you said, this is like splashing water on the front porch of a burning house then leave while the house is still burning. You are a blessing! Gale ❤
Perfect
I’m just curious what your thoughts are on a recent study that shows fibromyalgia could be an autoimmune disease?
Hi Debra, i saw these studies. I am planning to do a video about this.
Auto immune disease means inflammation. I have fibromyalgia but no inflammation in my body. Other studies show it is a nerve disorder and a miscommunication in the brain. Like our nerves are overactive because of a discrepancy in our brain.
It's beyond modern medical comprehension like many things . It's not a diagnosis It's a excuse for lack of investigations that our prideful wonker drs don't comprehend . Multiple schiloris was fibro once. This mental rested is insulting and a piss take of peoples mind . Your all cnts
Some people made a link between fibromyalgia and childhood trauma. It’s can be benefit to learn how to listen to your pain and see when you go in your mind.
100% correlation between *insulin resistance* and Fibro. Please get your insulin levels checked, not just glucose or A1C. When you find you're insulin resistant, start strength training and more cardio... Have to cut out most sweets and beverages. WHOLE FOODS, UNPROCESSED meals
What do you mean fix the pain system?
Who else watching this during a flare up? 😂❤
😂😂😂😂😂😂
The nervous system is overstimulated, but do not tell me that my muscles have no contractures because they are visible, hard and extremely painful all over my body. It is not like they do not exist.
do beleive Dr. Furlan has it absolutely correct.
Ive been suffering since 1982 when they called it fibrositist.
No one could actual pinpoint exactly where our condition originates from.
This video is more then correct.
Great job Dr. Furlan!
There are so many other symptoms of fibro that are not pain related. How is thag explained by the pain system. iBS, Brain fog, inability to regilate temperatures. Fatigue....Nureological? Auto Immune? Truth be told no one knows.
Eat as healthy as possible. Exercise despite the pain. It wont hurt you too.
this comment encompassed my symptoms completely
Try Benfotiamine which is a fat soluble form of Thiamine or B1. Along with a full, pre-methylated, B complex, make sure that the B12 is Methylcobalamin and not Cyanocobalamin. Then add Zinc and a full spread of at least 5 different kinds of Magnesium, especially Magnesium Taurate, Magnesium L-Threonate, Magnesium Glycinate, Magnesium Citrate, Magnesium Malate, Magnesium Aspartate and Magnesium Gluconate.
You have try it ? I am discourage, trying benfothiamine but was to sleepy ... which B brand you suggest please ?
yes magneseum helps a lot and vitamin d . b complex shots. yoga. Most of us with fybro are type A personalities and very creative.
Phenomenal explanation to a debilitating, often ignored, disease. *Stop Gaslighting WOMEN in diagnoses*
It isn't that the alarm is malfunctioning it is that the brain gives pain to prevent these "driven" people from overdoing things to the point of a heart attack or stroke. It's the only thing that slows them down. As soon as you can have them recognise the true problem they can get free of it really quickly.
I have never seen any scientific evidence for your theory.
So...the solution is what?
There is no such thing as a pain system this is an odd way to put it. I wonder if she has it and knows what it even feels like for us . For me it feels like skin crawling ready to burst from under my skin type pain and aches all down my arms and limbs when I start to flare. It isn’t pleasant
She's basically saying it's all in your head, and she's wrong. I'm infuriated at this take
I live with it and when they said I'd never make muscle or lose weight, I proved them wrong and I had doctors since I was a child I was told I ain't gonna make it but God always had other plans
Thank you for sharing that with us.

I don't think it's the pain system.
It's a connective tissue disease.
People with EDS have the exact same symptoms.
Hi Oliver, there are thousands of scientific papers, from reputable scientists around the world showing it is a problem of the pain system. What makes you think it is not?
I’m sorry but it’s I gut health AIP Diet will put you in remission
@@DrAndreaFurlan there's a difference between theories and facts
There are a lot of conditions/diseases that mimic others, like Lupus Erythematosus,
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME)(adding CFS to this diagnosis is wrong, they are not the same thing; they're not even close!) Many ME patients are completely bed confined. Myasthenia Gravis symptoms mimic FM as well. Some symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis mimic FM too.
I dislike when doctors and others say FM patients suffer chronic "fatigue." There is no fatigue about it. FM gives you permanent exhaustion. If you push yourself to do strenuous activities such as mowing the lawn, FM severe exhaustion will put you down in bed for days. When I used to mow my lawn, it took me the better part of the day to do it, (normal people can do it in 15 to 30 minutes) I had to stop mowing every 10 to 15 minutes to sit down and rest, and drink some water, then I would force myself to get up again, and start mowing again. When I was finished, it took me 3 to 4 days to recuperate from it. All I could do was lay on my reclining sofa, and watch TV all day. Shoveling snow in the winter is out of the question. I'm lucky if I can shovel it off the steps that lead to my front door. I cannot push a shovel of snow any farther than 2 feet. I don't have the strength to do that!
I've had FM for 34 years. The pain I have is in my muscles. It started in my feet, and worked it's way up through my calfs, thighs, gluteus maximus, and minimus, all the muscles in my back, neck, and the back of my head. If you have pain in your connective tissues, you must live in a hospital, because the human body has connective tissue everywhere including your face.
I also have the sleep disorder that comes with it. I cannot regulate my body temperature either. I'm either too hot or too cold (even in summer and winter here in Mich) I have been taking an Opiate pain medication for 32 years, and they do not stop the pain, they only bring it down to a more tolerable level. It never goes completely away. I go to bed in pain every night, and pain wakes me up every morning. I also take amitriptyline at bedtime. I helps me stay in stage 4 sleep (Delta wave sleep) for 6 hours each night without Alpha wave intrusion that used to wake me up 6 to 8 times every night.FM is much more than just a chronic pain disease.
She didn’t even explain it.. it’s caused by a dysfunction in your cyclic amp pathway.. the same pathway that opiate withdrawal comes from.
she's trying to talk down to us like we are complete morons because doctors think their patients are idiots.
Vous avez essayé le LDN ?
I’ve struggled with so many doctors, they really need to educate themselves. I have been referred to gynaecologists that did not really help. The last doctor though did refer me to a rheumatologist (they specialise with arthritis) and apparently they are the ones to see. So ladies, if you’re still lost and confused, talk to your doctor about seeing a rheumatologist ❤
Good luck trying to get a rheumatologist to see you. Most where I live do not see FM patients!
I had head trauma as a baby and more head injuries throughout my childhood due to fainting spells and even endured nose bleeds. But I think the last straw was when I fell down the stairs hitting every riser on the way down almost blacking out. So my 30’s to now the end of my 40s it’s been all over pain. Tests did show I do have scoliosis, degenerative issue of the joints plus lumbar, issue with my blood pressure and insufficient circulation in my limbs. That my pain is from Fibromyalgia because my head and body has been through. But what you’re saying makes more sense to me than what I was previous explained of Fibromyalgia. I figured there has to be a systemic and neurological problem happening that has my “in pain” switch stuck to “ON” mode never turning off. It’ll vary in intensity but it never shuts off.
Thanks Dr, so please how can this be treated
Hi Zinnie. I have a full video talking about fibromyalgia on my channel
Excellent. Thanx Doc.
Very welcome
I think it is also hormonal, big connection with fibro and hypothydism.
The doctors definitely don't know anything about Fibromyalgia. My onset nearly killed me. Migraines causing glowing vision, Full body nerve pain, Intense IBS, severe depressed, Fatigue, panic attacks, suicide thoughts. Doctor had no idea what was wrong with me, just kept sending to a psychologist. Had taken me 4 years to get diagnosed by a smart doctor. I put up with burning body wide nerve pain for 4 years, would happen 3-4 times a week. I would rather the kidney stone and gout that I had a few years ago.
What treatment did you do?
What did you do?
Are you doing better now?
How can I get in touch with you I am suffering with all those symptoms help me please
Guys, most of these *symptoms* are of insulin resistance/ undiagnosed prediabetes or even diabetes itself. If you're only checking sugar levels like A1C etc, (which was found to only be 27% accurate anyway), your doctor failed you. Get a HOMA-IR test, 2 hour insulin + glucose, or even OGTT + insulin. Your fasting insulin level should be under 7!
Strength train often, eat real whole foods UNPROCESSED, less beverages and sweets. Water water water
Great content DOC. Such beauty and brains!
Everyone stays it's something different. No one knows for sure.
What about low dose naltrexone?
tried for a year. no difference for me. It was a year of horrible panic attacks from side affects.
Tried it too, for months, did nothing but found side effects pretty awful, anxiety, agitated, short tempered, nasty feeling! Tried it twice cos I really wanted it to work but unfort it didn't😥
Worked for a out 6 months for me and then stopped
J'ai commencé il y a 3 semaines et je me sens déjà beaucoup mieux ! Je dirais au moins 60% de douleurs en moins et beaucoup beaucoup plus d'énergie ! Presque plus de brouillard mental. Et je ne suis pas encore à la dose recommandée de 4,5 mg.
Essayez le s'il-vous-plaît.
How can a patient work out for themselves whether they have fibromyalgia or myofascial pain syndrome?
I have another video abotu that. ruclips.net/video/eOK_I-5cMHQ/видео.html
I had been diagnosed with fibro, NAFLD, diabetes & lipedema. my inflamatory levels are v high & i just had varicose op. Been eating a v low/no carb , keto, fasting. NAFLD has been reversed. I am strugglingt o bring the sugar levels and inflamation down. I do not have as much fibro pain but I still have days when I am totally exhausted, breathing is an issue at times, rib pains joints as well. i do very little and limited exercise due to all the aches and pains but I try. Pray you all feel well soon.
Thanks I have spent a fortune on the treatments of the periphery
Lucky to get a diognoses cos my family had been diagnosed with it befor me , it's even worse with hypomobility with everything bending the wrong way , I want more people to learn so people will stop pushing me to do things that I know will cause so much more pain
Thank you ❤❤❤. I have it and I can’t stand it. Recently I just had thyroid issues. Hoping it will help. Im a diabetic type 2 with one kidney. It’s been a challenge. I’ve lost 30 pounds and still issues. Any ideas on over stimulation? I also have cochlear implants. And , that intensifies everything too. Thank you.
Piękna książka, cudownie przeczytana 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Thanks
Indeed, amen. Doctors don't know
I'm on a mission to teach doctors.
@@DrAndreaFurlan I've been working for years to experience what works and what my triggers are to get through the days as well as possible. mattress and pillow, eating habits and vitamins. Day routine and developments on a psychological level.
@@DrAndreaFurlan good luck with that. Its hard to teach people that already think they know everything and aren't listening.
Fibromyalgia is a symptom, not a diagnosis. Functional MDs are really great at identifying the root cause behind the symptom. I really think all fibro and CFS patients should be tested for mycotoxins, chemical toxicities and chronic infections. It’s really not helpful to mask symptoms with rx drugs, that’s just a bandaid. Sadly, most allopathic Drs here in America only know how to match symptoms to drug guides.
I was found to have Epstein-Barr and parvo in my system. No treatment.
Do you suffer from fibromyalgia? Your comments tell me NO.
It's bollox
Actually most Fibro is from insulin resistance. My mom suffers too. Most FMS patients improved greatly from Metformin which targets the insulin resistance. (LIFESTYLE TRUMP'S DRUGS FOR THIS) So undo the Hyperinsulinemia damage without meds:
1) GRADUALLY more unrefined whole foods & water. More Fiber, Protein, fill with Fats. Cut the sugar & man-made foods. 2) Strength training + cardio most days, less sitting more exercise GRADUALLY. 3) get quality sleep, and don't stress so much!
Fibro and CFS root cause is emotional trauma (nervous system and limbic system dysregulation). The only reason why diseases such as EBV and lyme will affect you is because your nervous system is highly sensitive. Otherwise, 90+% of people have these diseases with no symptoms. The key is to self-regulate.
Great content
But then what is the treatment to cure pain systom? Pls guide
Please watch the full video on my channel.
Pain, exsahustion and social axiety is crippling, had been dignosed in 2019 and is ruining my life,
Me too.
So I was diagnosed 15 years ago with it. All they did was give me pain meds. Which turned me into an addict. I now have 5 years clean. But I cannot get a doctor to listen to me at all. What do I do because I've reached my breaking point with the paint and the Charlie horses in my stomach or in my hands or in my back? When I try to wipe my butt like what do I do?
Your the first person I've read a comment from that mentions the charlie horses in the stomach, I have those, it makes me feel like someone just reached into my guts and started squeezing as hard as they could. (Of course, I'm still not diagnosed, by the wonderful world of medicine.)
Why does my body swell? Even my “no pain meds” drs can see my inflammation. But I don’t see drs anymore I go to Mexico where u can get a mild pain medication called tramidol. You do need to suffer 1-2 days a wk so u don’t get addicted. iv not seen but 2 dr visits in ten yrs and I’d I’ll never return. Don’t take oxys until you are past your sixty’s. *medical* Marijuana is best but my state doesn’t offer it. Stay strong and remember happiness is half the battle.
Kiss the drugs goodbye if you adopt a healthy lifestyle!
Most swelling you refer to and even Fibromyalgia is from insulin resistance. Don't suffer any longer; undo the Hyperinsulinemia damage: 1) GRADUALLY more unrefined whole foods & water. More Fiber, Protein, fill with Fats. Cut the sugar & man-made foods. 2) Strength training + cardio most days, less sitting more exercise GRADUALLY. 3) get quality sleep, and don't stress so much!
Medicinal cannabis meaning RSO or cbd products if I'm correct are best, I did get them for my wife from albovegateway...
My daughter has been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and yet her joints swell as in RA, but because blood tests are normal, this is dismissed. It seems to me that Fibromyalgia is like IBS, a catch all term when doctors don’t know what is going on.
Insulin resistance?
Somethings I'm learning abput fibromyalgia are:
*Fibromyalgia is a Syndrome (I just learned last night)
*Fibromyalgia needs to be treated by a Psychiatrist 1st and 2nd for a Rheumatologist and I believe that bc when my pain is very chronic is when I have a depression attack
How is cured the pain system?
I have fibromyalgia and I have been taking Glucosamine which has helped with the pain and stiffness so much. I keep recommending it to everyone.😊 You have to take it for at least a few weeks before you will notice the difference.
If you do try it check the amount of glucosamine on the label because most of them are way below the recommended dosage.
Which product do you take and how much? Do you experience stomach pain when taking glucosamine?
It is in the upper neck injuries and tbi injuries that cause radiological pain and miagia
Doctors no nothing about pain of any kind. They say its all in your mind.

How to cure it?
So how do we do that
Clickbait. This does not talk about what causes it.
This is a SHORT video. It is a summary of the LONG video that I posted in my channel. The answer is in the LONG video.
The content doesn't relate to the title. That's clickbait.
The original video just says it is because of things that happened in childhood. This is a poor answer because there are many theories. This is just one.
make a video about fibromlygia & hypermobility both in male patient
I have fibromyalgia it is a torment but how can it be cured forever....
But I’ve read recent research which shows the periphery nervous system is indeed altered in fibromyalgia 🤷🏻♀️ eg Impaired small fiber function that leads to increased temperature sensitivity;
Sensory irregularities in the feet, face, and hands;
Lower total nerve fibers and fewer regenerating nerve fibers in the skin;
Fewer unmyelinated nerve fiber bundles in the skin, but normal levels of myelinated nerve fibers. Also other research that it’s to do with antibodies.
Absolutely 💯
Smart and pretty 😍. Good video

But the name fibro myalgia means muscle pain right?
When they coined this name they didn’t know what we know today. It should be renamed.
Got it... change the batteries on the alarm 🤭
Actually, the fuel of our pain system is good nutrition, efficient sleep and a sound mind.
@@DrAndreaFurlan Thanks Dr. I will work on that
@@vic8804better yet, rid yourself of the insulin resistance which is the real cause of all the pain and inflammation of the nerves. undo the Hyperinsulinemia damage: 1) GRADUALLY more unrefined whole foods & water. More Fiber, Protein, fill with Fats. Cut the sugar & man-made foods. 2) Strength training + cardio most days, less sitting more exercise GRADUALLY. 3) get quality sleep, and don't stress so much!
How can we Get help?
I need your help , I think I have that , do you loose weigh w it ?
You may need to update your info about the cause of fibromyalgia just a bit.
Recent studies have demonstrated that intramuscular pressure was elevated in fibromyalgia sufferers.
Dr. Ginerva Liptan stated during a 2023 webinar, that the levels in some participants were near that of patients with compartment syndrome😳.
This is encouraging news because it's clear, measurable evidence that fibromyalgia is NOT "all in our heads," as many doctors claim.
Your video is still very helpful towards understanding this confusing syndrome! Thank you!!!
She definitely needs to listen to Dr. Lipton. Facts and data indeed!
Fibromyalgia is connected to insulin resistance, oxalates and autoimmune conditions. (Which are caused by leaky gut.)
I disagree with this response.
@@DrAndreaFurlan Then I suggest you investigate it further. I have. For years. Plus I have battled fibromyalgia for over 2 decades myself.
@@DrAndreaFurlan So what is your theory of why we have fibromyalgia?
@@DrAndreaFurlan This might interest you.

Thanks there are a lot of things I find that some doctors don't know 😮. Thanks again !! Nice and lovely 🌹🌹
Honestly it was a vague video. Most Fibro is from insulin resistance. Don't suffer any longer; undo the Hyperinsulinemia damage: 1) GRADUALLY more unrefined whole foods & water. More Fiber, Protein, fill with Fats. Cut the sugar & man-made foods. 2) Strength training + cardio most days, less sitting more exercise GRADUALLY. 3) get quality sleep, and don't stress so much!
what on earth is lovely about the fact that doctors are not taught things in medical school and don't have the internet to learn from like the rest of us?
The pain is unbearable. I feel like I want to die sometime Cuz it's too painful to live
You know what!!? We are ALL too stressed out ... Its time for 4 day work weeks and women stopping full time work after 30 its sooooooooo stupid.
The thing is, how do you fix the pain symptom ?
Hi Wendy, I have many other videos about that. My book is a summary of what I teach my patients: www.doctorandreafurlan.com/book
@@DrAndreaFurlan Thank you Dr Furlan for your reply, I’ve recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia after years of pain and not knowing what was going on. I’ll read your book, and watch your videos, and find out all I can regarding this painful, debilitating illness. 😉
Deep sleep. If you can get a restful sleep, you have there.

I suffer with Anxiety more towards Health which could mimic fibro
Pain wack a mole. I feel like my
Muscles are
Right and weak and all my
Ligaments and tendons have run out
Of strength and elasticity. Like someone has been punching me all night.
The problem is in inflamation, the food that we put in, carnivore put mine in remisson!
Hi Stella, thank you for sharing.
What is carnivore?
At some point we need to look at wtf they are doing to the food that is making it so inflammatory. The glyphosate is certainly not helping. I’m not carnivore but I do notice that fasting seems to improve inflammation tremendously.
Stella you probably find improvement because most Fibro is from insulin resistance. Don't suffer any longer; undo the Hyperinsulinemia damage: 1) GRADUALLY more unrefined whole foods & water. More Fiber, Protein, fill with Fats. Cut the sugar & man-made foods. 2) Strength training + cardio most days, less sitting more exercise GRADUALLY. 3) get quality sleep, and don't stress so much!
@@Acts-1322 cardio is not for a people with burn adrenals..
I know what works for me..
So thank you anyway
I have this.
Isn't it in the fascia, or is this a different issue?
I think its leaky gut i have mass cell activation n salycylate intollerance i worked out when i eat thats when chronic pain n exaustion kicks in had fybro since teans n probly well before N bowl issues most my life when i dont eat i have energy so deff gut related for me being low salicylate has helped a lot n worked on foods i react to n eliminated them also parasites which we all have need to be treated as these can cause havock its been hard journey as with MCAD I react to foods meds n lots mre its complicated but managed to reduce cripling pain
Your definitely right. If you eat clean and stay away from all the triggers, you will alright. Problem is learning to cook for yourself and preparing the meals that are right for you whilst living a hectic life with very little energy to spare.
Ok so the question is how do you stop it then
I have many videos on my channel about that.
It’s in the brain that’s why they say trauma can be a leading cause of it and also there’s different levels some people go on and go to work and it’s minor pain and some people end up in wheelchairs from fibromyalgia I’m close to that now I never thought as a nurse Tech before I got fibromyalgia that it hurt this bad every single day since I’ve had it and I did take a couple years to diagnose it every fiber in your whole body and you’re being hurt like you’ve been hit by a truck and then run over
Sadly many dismiss it even Drs
and truly I was anti-opioid and I tried everything you can think of physical therapy which is very hard to do because you can barely get out of bed not to mention the migraines your neck your shoulders your flanks
your sides, your arms everything hurts and it’s incurable they cannot go in there and fix the nerves that are setting off the pain system the only thing that worked for me after trying the dangerous disgusting gabapentin that was being pushed on me I almost got dementia a Cymbalta an anti-depressant that doesn’t work for pain and made me sweat from the inside out
NSAIDs that doesn’t work b they gave me a huge ulcer physical therapy they put me in bed for a week
the only thing that worked for me opiode meds
and I didn’t want to take them for two years I refused and was missing work till I got fired so now I can’t get them no more because the government is lying to the public saying there’s a prescription opioid epidemic for nine years so they could sue pharmaceutical companies when in actuality statistics show that 90% of all the overdose deaths on the street for nine years has been illicit carfentynil
It’s been illicit fentanyl laced drugs so millions are suffering without any pain relief now like me and there is no quality of life at all and barely any function so don’t let no doctors ignorant doctors that are very unknowledgeable to my surprise ever tell you that this ain’t real or that 8 million people are lying or that opioids don’t work The government is involved and they’re scared to and they’re making incentive money to not to prescribe believe it or not even surgery patients aren’t getting any pain control now that is why we need a lawsuit you don’t believe what’s going on go to the doctor patient forum on Facebook type in the doctor patient forum you’ll see the government agenda for profit millions are suffering and committing suicide and dying
I took antybiotic azytromecin for 7 days and all my pains are gone right now. It was any bacteria toxins. I didn't see phisician. I figuret it out by myself.
