Fibromyalgia (FMS) Treatment Options
(Understanding Fibromyalgia pain, including treatment options.)

Looking for relief from the symptoms of Fibromyalgia or the Fibromyalgia defined as muscle and connective tissue pain, referred to as FM or FMS.

Fibromyalgia is characterized by chronic widespread pain with symptoms that include debilitating  joint stiffness, weakness in the limbs, numbness and tingling, fatigue, sleep disturbance, some individuals may also report difficulty swallowing, and cognitive dysfunction, bladder and bowel abnormalities.

The chronic, widespread pain of fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) typically manifests itself as pain and stiffness. Symptoms of Fibromyalgia often include deep aching, throbbing pain, draining fatigue, stiffness of joints, as well as, muscle weakness.

Fibromyalgia is frequently associated with psychiatric conditions such as depression and/or anxiety, as well as, stress-related disorders such as posttraumatic stress disorder. However, not all individuals with fibromyalgia experience all associated symptoms, Fibromyalgia may present in several different ways.

Fibromyalgia effects some 2-4% of the population with females nine times more likely to develop Fibromyalgia than males.

Clinical studies have proven that Ultram is an effective pain relief treatment option for both the acute and the chronic pain associated with Fibromyalgia. You can now order Ultram online, effective relief for the pain associated with Fibromyalgia (click here for details).


The diagnosis of Fibromyalgia can be difficult. Many healthcare professionals do not consider Fibromyalgia a disease secondary to a lack of abnormalities that can be found on physical examination and the absence of specific diagnostic tests.

In the past, Fibromyalgia was considered either a neuropsychiatric condition or a musculoskeletal disease. However, evidence from research conducted over last thirty years has revealed abnormalities within the central nervous system that affects an area of the brain that may be linked to the clinical symptoms of  Fibromyalgia. 

Additional  research suggests that alterations in the central nervous system might be the result of childhood stress, or prolonged or severe stress.

Although there no known cure for fibromyalgia, there are some treatments that have been shown to be effective in reducing symptoms associated with Fibromyalgia, including medications, patient education, behavioral interventions, and exercise.

Again, clinical studies have proven that Ultram is an effective pain relief treatment option for both the acute and the chronic pain associated with Fibromyalgia. You can now order Ultram online, effective relief for the pain associated with Fibromyalgia (click here for details).

Treatment of Fibromyalgia
(Understanding the treatment options for Fibromyalgia.)

In recent history, individuals that complained of constantly being exhausted while experiencing pain all over were usually told "its all in your head".  Now we have a diagnosis, Fibromyalgia.  Individuals with Fibromyalgia account for a large portion of rheumatology outpatient visits while Fibromyalgia is in the top three diagnosis made by rheumatologist. Unfortunately, there are very few effective treatment options for individuals with Fibromyalgia.

Please review the following that addresses the various treatment options for Fibromyalgia.

Prescription Drugs for the Treatment of Fibromyalgia
(Ultram is effective against the pain associated with Fibromyalgia.)

The following prescription drugs have been shown to be beneficial in individuals who suffer from Fibromyalgia. Especially, Ultram which helps to relief the pain that is so often associated with Fibromyalgia.

Antidepressants
Unfortunately, although there is some benefits from other prescription drugs, their side effects need to be weighed against their benefits. For example, antidepressant have been shown to prove some relief against the pain associated with Fibromyalgia. However, the side effects make the patient dull, lethargic, or fat, neither meet their goals nor those of society.

Anti-Seizure Drugs
The anti-seizure drugs Neurontin and Lyrica have been tested to provide relief against the pain associated with Fibromyalgia. Neurontin is approved for use in treatment of neuropathic pain but not fibromyalgia. Lyrica, originally labeled for the treatment of nerve pain suffered by diabetics, has been approved for the treatment of fibromyalgia. A Cochrane Database analysis of Lyrica use in chronic pain concluded that “A minority of patients will have substantial benefit with Lyrica, and more will have moderate benefit. Many will have no or trivial benefit, or will discontinue because of adverse events.”

Dopamine Agonists
Dopamine agonists Mirapex ReQuip resulted in some improvement in a minority of patients. Again, side effects, including the onset of impulse control disorders like compulsive gambling and shopping, have led to concern about using these drugs for the treatment of Fibromyalgia.

Cholinesterase Inhibitors
Recent studies have shown that Cholinesterase inhibitors, such as, Mestinon (pyridostigmine bromide) have shown to be beneficial in allowing individuals with Fibromyalgia to exercise for longer periods of time without the pain that usually follows exercise in this population.

Pain Relief Drugs
One prescription pain relief medication has proven to be beneficial for the treatment of Fibromyalgia with very few, if any side effects, Ultram (tramadol). Unlike the other prescription drugs that provide relief for the symptoms of Fibromyalgia. Ultram has very few, if any negative side effects.

Fibromyalgia Treatment Testimonial
(Review how Ultram help Dan cope with the Fibromyalgia pain.)

Review the following testimonial of an individual that finally got relief from the symptoms if Fibromyalgia with Ultram.

Some four months ago, my doctor wrote me a prescription for Ultram. I was nervous about taking a prescription drug. However, the symptoms of  fibromyalgia were so intense I needed some relief. So I filled  the prescription for Ultram.

Ultram is a mild non narcotic pain reliever. While Ultram is not a narcotic, the brain responds the same way to Ultram as it would to a narcotic pain reliever. Ultram, also known as, Tramadol after the active ingredient in Ultram allowed me to sleep. Ultram's calming affect combined with ability to block the pain finally enabled me to get a good nights sleep.

Ultram also improved my overall mood, I feel more content and/or motivated to be more active. Later, I discovered Ultram has an active ingredient that acts as a mild antidepressant. Finally, Ultram suppressed my appetite and I am losing the weight that I gained from being inactive from the pain associated with Fibromyalgia.

The first positive benefit that you might find from Ultram is increased sleep. That one is easy to explain. If you are not in pain, you sleep better. Also, the medicine works on the brain to serve as a calming agent, and this also helps sleep. Some people claim they feel hyper on Ultram, but this has not been the effect for me.

The second positive benefit I noticed from Ultram was that I felt a bit happier. Not that I was depressed, but I actually felt like doing things and getting out of the house. When I researched this, I found out that the active ingredient in Ultram acts as a mild antidepressant, thus the elated moods.

Ultram, truly gave me a second chance with regards to relieving the pain associated with Fibromyalgia. Although as with any prescription drug check with your doctor prior to taking Ultram for the treatment of Fibromyalgia. Sometimes different drugs don't mix so well so best to check with your GP.

• Acupuncture for the treatment of Fibromyalgia - acupuncture in the past was considered to be an "alternative treatment", however, even the prestigious Mayo Clinic is endorsing Acupuncture as a beneficial treatment for certain medical conditions.

  Fibromyalgia. However, the pain relief associated with Acupuncture is reported as being fleeting or lasting only a few days,  weeks or possibly months.

• Massage therapy for the treatment of Fibromyalgia - massage therapist have the skills to manually address and relieve intense fascial and musculoskeletal pain.

Your Diet and Fibromyalgia
(Certain foods can have a negative effect on Fibromyalgia.)

Studies have shown that those individuals with severe Fibromyalgia benefit by not consuming NutraSweet (aspartame) and/or MSG (monosodium glutamate).

The reason, both glutamate (in MSG) and the amino acid, aspartic acid (in aspartame) can stimulate pain augmenting receptors in your spinal cord.  These are called NMDA receptors.  Some individuals with Fibromyalgia improve very much on a Fibromyalgia diet that avoids MSG and aspartame.

Individuals with Fibromyalgia should consider eating modest size meals without excessive sugars or simple carbohydrates or a high content of fat. Occasionally, individuals with Fibromyalgia symptoms will improve with the elimination of certain foods, such as, gluten/wheat, yeast,  milk, sugar to which they personally are sensitive.
