Fibromyalgia is a complex condition. The nature of fibromyalgia
is widespread chronic pain and fatigue that affects sufferers’ quality of life.
They may experience all sorts of issues like sleep disorders, morning
stiffness, poor concentration, and occasionally mild-to-severe mental symptoms
such as anxiety or depression.
(1) So if
nutrition and supplementation offer
beneficial hope of relief, especially vitamin D, Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC shares this evidence-based
insight with our La Grande chiropractic patients who have
fibromyalgia.
Recently, researchers compared women with fibromyalgia to
those without. They found that other than iron intake, women with fibromyalgia
are found to consume less vitamins A, C, B12, D and E and minerals folate,
selenium, zinc, iron, calcium and magnesium. (Interestingly, vitamin E intake doesn’t
affect fibromyalgia patients’ quality of life reporting while the amount of
protein intake does affect pain reporting.) (2) Low levels of vitamin D have
been related to fibromyalgia patients. (3) Further, vitamin D is showing itself
beneficial in reducing fibromyalgia patients’ pain perception. Raising
califediol (the one of three vitamin D forms that is measured in the blood to
check vitamin D levels) is positive, economical, and low in side effects. (1) So
what approaches seem to help fibromyalgia? One report says a combination of
moderate physical exercise and supplementation. (2) Another review of the
literature about fibromyalgia gives varying levels of evidence for benefits from these
approaches: cognitive behavioral therapy, massage, acupuncture, spinal
manipulation, muscle strengthening, diet, and body/movement awareness among
others. (4) So what can a La Grande fibromyalgia patient do? Check out
the La Grande chiropractic approach at Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC that incorporates many of these.
