Why Do Fibromyalgia Patients Feel So Awful and Have So Many Symptoms?
This question is a little more complicated but the answer makes sense when you put all the information together. Before this question is answered a part of the nervous system needs to be identified/defined.
One component of our nervous system is called the “Autonomic Nervous System”. This nervous system is divided into two divisions:
- Sympathetic division (fight or flight)-when our environment threatens us our body has to respond and this aspect of the nervous system kicks in. For example, if you are being chased by a tiger your adrenalin will be activated and blood flow to all parts of your body will increase. Most likely you will not fall asleep or feel relaxed while being chased by a tiger.
- Parasympathetic Division (rest and digest)-when our environment is relaxing our body will respond accordingly and this aspect of the nervous system will kick in. For example, if you had a large dinner and you sit down next to a warm fire most likely your body will rest/relax and digest.
There is so much more to Fibromyalgia than most medical doctors would have you believe and there is help and hope.
