Health Tip: Coping With Fibromyalgia

Reader Comments
Back to article

I tried the Dr Max Powers HGH Spray -
I have fibromyalgia and went to a lecture at the Oregon Health Sciences University to learn the latest research. They had studied people with FMS when they were exercising & discovered that unlike normal people, FMS sufferers do not show increases in Human Growth Hormone levels when they exercise. This is why exercise is so difficult & exhausting for us.
They discovered that large doses of HGH virtually cured this condition. But the necessary dosage would cost about $800/mo. After the lecture I foundthe Dr Max Powers HGH Sprat at my local natural foods store and, although the dosage is far less than any prescription, I thought I would give it a try.
It took about 4 weeks to start noticing a difference, but then there was substantial improvement. My pain levels are not affected by this dosage, but my energy levels are up dramatically. I am now able to do yoga daily, which does decrease my pain level, and to do cardio workouts 2-3 times a week. Exercise is one of the best treatments for FMS. I have been using this product for 2 years now, including a 4-month break from it to make sure it was still making a difference.
A friend of mine researched the Dr Max HGH Spray formula in this product after discovering that HGH is not legally available w/o prescription - and this does seem to be working for me.

I must agree with the first comment and most other sights on Fibromyalgia.These writers are totally unaware of the dibilitating effects of FibroM.
I love the Exercise suggestions.Clearly the writers of such articles have never felt the complete energy drain on Fibro victims.If I could get up off the couch,if I did not feel as though all the lifeblood was drained from me,if my head would stop swimming and I could stand up,if my head did not pound incessently,if I didn't feel like I had a horrible Flu,then sure I would exercise,I would clean the bathroom, I would cook a healthy meal,I would go somewhere with my little girl,I would work,I would hike,canoe,travel,play tennis,get a life.I miss these things.I have come to hate the medical profession.they are idiots,they have no clue,only more pills,more side affects,more disappointments.

This article trivializes the often debilitating effects of fibromyalgia. It also neglects to mention the often dozens of symptoms that fibromyalgia sufferers endure. It is important for readers to understand that fibromyalgia is a disorder that impacts an individual's central nervous system. This is not simply a muscle and fatigue condition. People with fibromyalgia are often impacted in very life altering ways, including heightened sensitivity to pain, light and sound; irritable bowel, nausea and bladder challenges; extreme headaches; cognitive processing impediments; night sweats and body temperature dysregulation. Millions of fibromyalgia sufferers are disabled by their condition, and there is no cure in sight. Please, let's give fibromyalgia the attention it deserves as an illness that is devastating millions of lives across the globe.

Certainly movement and exercise often help people with Fibromyalgia pain and symptoms. However, sometimes people hurt too much to move, but when they can, they are better off. As Dr. Charles Lapp says, "Rest too much and you rust!" A good diet (that doesn't trigger allergy or digestive symptoms) and clean, pure water help, too. It's good to keep hydrated, plus water helps to flush the toxins out of the body after exercise. Other data & helpful hints for healing Fibromyalgia can be found at my show, Health Matters Show (at http://www.healthmattersshow.com).
