Fibromyalgia
Constant pain? Seek gentle relief.
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory, and mood issues. Symptoms often arise following physical trauma, surgery, infection, or significant psychological stress, but in some cases, they gradually accumulate over time without a single triggering event. Because fibromyalgia symptoms overlap with many other conditions, its diagnosis involves a process of exclusion. Effective management typically includes a combination of medication, physical therapy, exercise, stress management techniques, and possibly counseling.
Access Telehealth enables you to consult with healthcare providers experienced in managing fibromyalgia. Through virtual consultations, you can discuss your symptoms, work towards a diagnosis, and develop a personalized treatment plan aimed at reducing pain, improving sleep, and enhancing quality of life, all from the convenience and privacy of your home.
Precautions
- Practice good sleep hygiene to improve the quality of your sleep. This includes maintaining a regular sleep schedule, creating a comfortable and calming bedtime routine, and ensuring your bedroom is conducive to sleep (cool, dark, and quiet).
- Gentle exercise, such as walking, swimming, or yoga, can help manage pain and improve physical function. Start slowly and gradually increase your activity level as your body adapts.
- Stress management techniques, such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, or mindfulness, can help reduce the stress that may exacerbate fibromyalgia symptoms. Finding activities that relax and rejuvenate you is important.
Common Medications
- Antidepressants such as Duloxetine (Cymbalta) or Amitriptyline (Elavil)
- Anticonvulsants such as Pregabalin (Lyrica), Gabapentin (Neurontin), or Sodium oxybate (Xyrem)
- Muscle relaxants such as Cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril), Tizanidine (Zanaflex), or Baclofen (Lioresal)
