Of the 5 million people diagnosed with fibromyalgia, intense chronic pain, 90% are women.
This neurochemical dis-ease affects the very people whose pain receptors are higher than others while at the same time they have lower pain inhibitors in their system.
While men learn to “suck” it up there are a whole host of symptoms like chronic fatigue, difficulty in sleeping, restless legs, etc.
Remembering where you put your car keys and other memory problems are common. Experiencing difficulty with concentrating, having headaches, and even irritable bowel are par for the course.
As a former 10%-er, yes I had a woman tell me that she thought I had the “women’s disease” when she asked me a lot of questions in which I responded yes to… and then finally getting doctors to diagnose it.
Yes to a variety of symptoms that I lived with in my 20’s and 30’s.
While there is no “known” cure for fibromyalgia, myself and others are now “cured” and no longer live with incessant pain.
Since there are pointers to chronic pain being neurochemical, I had to learn to increase my abilities of the inhibitory nature of the brain by actually having to learn how to move effectively so the pain receptors wouldn’t fire up… while at the same increasing the function of how I moved globally as one connected person.
“Getting out pain is easy” once you learn there is an actual living process which involves the brain to inhibit unwanted muscles from entering the show. Get those muscles to quiet down so you can move with greater ease and mobility and watch the stiffness leave as you rewire yourself neurologically.
While this may seem radical to some, it’s actually our birthright to move well…
The actual living process to engage in is called a pandiculation. We did this in our mother’s womb. It’s the very thing we think of as the morning stretch… which it isn’t.
It only appears to be on the surface. Much like when people see people with fibromyalgia and then hear, “you look normal or fine to me”.
For some of us, the 10%-ers, it’s a matter of getting back on track with simple, natural, easy movements that have been systematized to help get people out of pain and back in the game.
Since exercise as we know it fails many people, there is actually a way to un-exercise with gentle movements using the brain to make the changes we know or thought are possible.
