Symptoms of Fibromyalgia


One of the most debilitating components of living with fibromyalgia is having to deal with a widespread set of symptoms. Doctors often have trouble coming up with viable treatments for fibromyalgia because there are so many of them. These symptoms include:

Fibromyalgia Trigger Points (Dorsal View)

Fibromyalgia Trigger Points (Dorsal View)

  • Widespread muscle-aches and pain
  • stiffness, and general fatigue
  • depression, anxiety, stress
  • Insomnia or lack of deep sleep
  • Irritable bowel syndrome
  • Difficulty remembering or performing simple tasks (a.k.a fibro fog)
  • Facial pain and tenderness in the mandibular (jaw) area
  • Swelling in the hands and feet
  • Inability to exercise or perform simple movements

As you can see, this is a very comprehensive list of symptoms. Doctors attempt to target the different symptoms with various medications, which can often send the body out of whack.

“Fibromyalgia pain begins in the foot. You have to correct faulty foot bio-mechanics or else latent-pain will continue to persist. If you don’t correct the problems in the foot, there will always be the possibility for flare-ups, no matter what changes you make to your lifestyle.”

Dr. Groshell’s new fibromyalgia treatment explains how all of these problems are connected, through the energy fields of the body. Instead of simply targeting different symptoms with medicine, he looks to the root of the problem in his treatment fibromyalgia.
