Fibromyalgia Causes; What Causes Fibromyalgia

September 16, 2009 by Lisa

Looking for one Event that Causes Fibro: Doctors and researchers and maybe even you are looking for a cause of fibromyalgia. One event or a specific failing of the body that triggered the process that leads to fibromyalgia symptoms.

There is no one Event: I believe that this one event or failing does not exist. There is not a point where a person doesn’t have fibromyalgia, and then in the next moment something is triggered and the person does have fibromyalgia.

I also don’t believe we are born with it, and I don’t think our parents can pass it to us like they can pass on eye color.

Habits Cause Fibromyalgia: I think the people around us can behave and believe in ways that create illness in their bodies, and we as impressionable children can learn to behave in those ways also and also create the same illnesses in our bodies – which is great news!

We Can Learn New Habits that will benefit us in many ways: Because, if we can learn to behave in ways that create and perpetuate fibro then we can learn to behave in ways that create and perpetuate health, healing and wellness!

Becoming Healthy: That’s what I did. I did not so much cure fibro as I did become healthy. And as I became healthier and healthier, the fibromyalgia symptoms became less and less. And anyone can do it. It’s enjoyable once you get some pain-free days.

So What Are the Habits that Cause Fibromyalgia and How Can We Reverse Them?

I know without a doubt how fibromyalgia got started within my own body, and based on my research I strongly believe some variation of my life experience is true for everyone with fibromyalgia.

Consider this quote by Dr. Lamb

Given that a person lives long enough, we all will develop fibromyalgia. The best you can hope for is to keep it at bay.

I agree with a lot of what Dr. Lamb says (but not everything – he believes that most fibromyalgics will need needle therapy to get a good recovery from fibro. I did not need needle therapy and I know of many other people who recovered who didn’t either, and so I don’t believe that’s true)

In fact, if you are willing to do trigger point self-massage work, I believe self-massage is more effective and safer than needle therapy for individual trigger points and scar tissue.

Stretching to Relieve Fibromyalgia: Dr. Lamb’s main assertion is that a good stretching program is the most important factor in relieving fibromyalgia symptoms and keeping them at bay. I agree wholeheartedly that stretching is incredibly important. In my book and around the website share my stretches and how people with fibro should stretch in the early stages of their recovery so as to avoid muscle spasm and pain.

Based on what Dr. Lamb says ‘if a person lives long enough, he or she will develop fibromyalgia’ that kind of sheds some light on how fibro develops.

Fibromyalgia develops by the living of life and all the stresses and injuries and overwork that we endure each day.

Negative emotions like anger, impatience, and frustration tip you off to your habits that create fibromyalgia: If you are feeling prolonged negative emotions, I believe your body is releasing stress chemicals. The negative emotions are indications of an imbalance in you, and the stress chemicals are released to provide you and your body energy to correct the imbalance. The habits are whatever you are doing, saying, or thinking when you are feeling the negative emotions.

If your body can’t use or release all the stress chemicals, eventually, you will have fibromyalgia symptoms. (or the symptoms of some other pain syndrome or disease).
