Fibromyalgia: A Message?
By Eileen Smith
The first thing to understand is that Fibromyalgia is not just a physical problem, it is a mental and emotional one as well. In my practice, I have always said Fibromyalgia, and it's usual partners, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Depression and Panic/Anxiety Disorder is a many headed Hydra. There are usually several components that came together at one time to trigger this syndrome. This is why bodywork and therapy is going to be a critical part of the healing process for the person with Fibromyalgia.
I am challenged with both Fibromayalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Thi sis why I can not only empathize with my clients, but go deeper within the syndrome, because "I have been there.." I remember trying to describe how I was feeling to a friend as;
"like the days just after having the flu, when you stop vomiting and such, but are still sick. Like I am recovering from a bad bout of flu, except I never recover".
At one time it was so bad, I did not do much of anything for 3 years. Over the years done a few things to lessen it's influence over my life.These were right for me, for my experience. Perhaps they will help you. One thing that was very important to my health was bodywork. And by bodywork, I mean both energy work, somatic bodywork and massage. VERY VERY helpful in particular was somatic therapy combined with Reiki. I have treated many, many people who have fibromyalgia. Most were women. Some didn't even realize they had it, and were coming to me because they just felt horrible, and did not know where else to turn. It seems the medical community is still dismissing their illness with "female complaints". Or they just simply don't know.
From what I have learned from my experience over the years is that energetically, I believe that those who suffer this, as still "holding" pain, which over time, has manifested in fibromyalgia. So to release emotional or physical trauma still stored in the tissues is important.
