CHRONIC PAIN SYMPTOMS AND FIBROMYALGIA
Fibromyalgia is characterized by widespread and varied pain throughout the entire body. For those who also have thyroid issues, it can be devastating. Deep pain can be felt in the muscles, tendons and even in the bones. The combined influences of the hormonal deficiencies and hormonal imbalance, together with the fibromyalgia syndrome of symptoms, can turn daily functioning, walking, standing, sleeping, getting out of bed, into a major challenge.
Fibromyalgia pain is not identical to extreme pain caused by a wound or disease. The brain processes the pain signals differently and besides the physical threshold determinations of discomfort, the emotional threshold is affected most negatively, often manifested by depression and extreme frustration. The proper approach is an integrated treatment that includes medication, physical therapy, adopting new habits and evaluating one’s Thyroid performance.
