How does Chinese medicine treat fibromyalgia?

Answer 1

Fibromyalgia is a term for a very broad set of symptoms -not all of which occur concurrently!!

  You first hve to rule out other potential causes for your symptoms !!

If it is mostly muscle related then your magnesium may be very low and probably is since you are ill!! A couple of grams a day will help to remedy that!! I am deficient and go to get a Mayer's push -which has mag. in it -intravenously!!

   Some say as well that it is -or at least the symptoms you are calling fibro.... is lyme disease!! They have identical symptoms and lyme is very hard to test and detect !! The NIH say if the symptoms are like lyme then treat it as such!!

  That happens to be my problem at the moment-lyme!!

Doctors called a disease my sister had fibro.. and it turned out to be lyme!!!

   The symptoms of fibro /lyme seem to be neuro toxin based and therefore bug related !!  Make sure of what you are dealing with!!!

Answer 2

there is NO evidence that low magnesium is the cause of FMS.

My vitamin levels are fine--I still have FMS

FMS is believed to be a disorder of the central nervous system-

Acupuncture is often used--it diodn't do anything for me....

Answer 3

Traditional Chinese Medicine can't do much for Fibromyalgia but Kinesiology can help you find the cause of it, can retrain your nervous system to function normally (as it did before) and tell you what you need to do to keep healthy in the future.

I would contact a kinesiologist if I were you.

Al the best for a healthy future to you!
