Get relief from the pain of fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia pain can sap the joy out of life. Constant chronic pain is dispiriting and can make simple tasks and activities feel impossible. The intense pain of fibromyalgia doesn’t have a clear organic cause, but the pain is all to intense for sufferers. Fibromyalgia pain may feel ‘stabbing’ or ‘burning’ or ‘aching’.

Defining fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia as a chronic disorder causes widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and multiple tender points that occurs in precise, localized areas. Pain occurs particularly in the neck, spine, shoulders, and hips. Fibromyalgia may also cause sleep disturbances, morning stiffness, irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety, and other symptoms. Fibromyalgia is not the same as chronic fatigue syndrome although there may be some overlap in symptoms.

Diagnosing fibromyalgia

For a fibromyalgia diagnosis there has to be the presence of the ‘tender points’. The body has 18 sites that are possible tender points. To qualify as a tender point, pain must be felt when pressure is applied to the site. People who have fibromyalgia may feel pain at other sites, too, but those 18 sites on the body are used for diagnosis. Areas of pain will often include the neck, knee joints, upper back and shoulders and arms. The pain can be felt when pressure is applied to these areas. The pain can be debilitating and long lasting and, of course, continuous chronic pain is physically and emotionally exhausting. People living with fibromyalgia speak of loss of enjoyment in things they used to love doing.

Stress hormones and fibromyalgia

There is speculation that the body’s production of stress hormones make fibromyalgia pain worse as cortisol (a stress hormone) can increase sensitivity to pain. The deep relaxation experienced during hypnosis is great for reducing your body’s pain and increasing general levels of comfort in your body.

Hypnosis and fibromyalgia

As well as the benefits of hypnotic relaxation, hypnosis can also help by lowering chronic pain levels directly (1). Hypnosis has been used for centuries as an anesthetic in surgery and as a general pain relief device. Hypnosis has been used for migraine, phantom limb pain and childbirth.
