It can also increase the severity of current health conditions. Overwhelming pain was Gurwell's constant companion for nine years, and her struggle to find answers seemed futile. I think I went to 17 different doctors, trying to find somebody who would listen. But according to WEWS, some of those doctors told Gurwell to ignore the pain and it would go away. People with fibromyalgia, despite being very tired, very fatigued, can't sleep or wake up after sleeping 10 hours and they're exhausted.
Stress makes it worse.
Treatment with antidepressants can help with the serotonin levels and sleep problems. For Gurwell, reducing stress and exercise has made a huge difference in her health. Fibromyalgia is a condition that tends to be chronic, but can be managed. Healing can begin when you listen to what your body is telling you, WEWS reports. Copyright 1999 by NewsNet5.
