As you already know, I like to keep up to date with the latest fibromyalgia information and resources available.
This article covers some of the ways you can pamper away the symptoms of fibromyalgia that you might not know about.
In the last article we discussed the importance of exercise. While it is definitely one of the best things you can do for your body, it is also equally important for people with fibromyalgia to rest up and relax. Sometimes it just feels great to pamper yourself a bit.
If you have fibromyalgia, it is a good idea to periodically get massage therapy. If you can afford it all the time that is great! If not, try to get a good massage every once in a while. Since fibromyalgia causes pain in muscle fibers, a relaxing massage may be just what your body needs. Of course, if you can afford it and you have the time, you could check out a day spa. Day spas have a variety of therapies that can relax your body in a way you probably could never have imagined. There are hot stone therapies, mud baths, saunas, steam treatments, and more!
Furthermore, you should always have a good heating pad handy. Heat helps to relieve pain. If you can’t afford to head to a day spa, consider a quiet night at home with a good movie or a book, while using a heating pad. It may not be as glamorous as a day spa, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be just as effective at relieving pain and relaxing you.
A recent study has shown that heat “deactivates” pain in a similar way to painkillers, to provide relief for up to an hour. Led by Brian King from University College London, he recently announced at a Physiological Society conference in London that “the heat doesn't just provide comfort and have a placebo effect, it actually deactivates the pain at a molecular level in much the same way as pharmaceutical painkillers work”.
Using heat pads of more than 40 degrees C to the areas of pain can trigger your body’s heat receptors to switch on, which in turn block the pain receptors from sending their warning signals to the brain.
Be sure to take care of yourself. Life can be very stressful, which is especially bad for people with fibromyalgia. Take some time for yourself, to relax and recharge. It could mean the difference between pain and feeling great!
In the “The Natural Cure for Fibromyalgia” there is more information on ways you can make your body feel better and keep the pain at bay!
Also, this indepth e-book covers many more strategies for helping your body feel better than it has in years.
