What is Fibromyalgia?
Only a few decades ago, fibromyalgia was rarely discussed. Now it affects between 5 – 10 million people in the U.S., and it is said to have become among the primary rheumatoid diseases diagnosed by physicians today.
My research on the subject reveals that due to the rather subjective symptoms described by patients (as opposed to clinically tested), it has historically been questioned by physicians themselves.
Apparently, it was commonly determined that fibromyalgia may not be a ‘real’ condition. Descriptions of patients using the symptoms as a reason to seek prescription medications for pain and/or anxiety and depression were noted.
Today, scientists and researchers are getting closer to understanding fibromyalgia. Clearly, the more doctors that begin accepting this diagnosis, the closer we will get to treating this terrible condition more effectively.
In the meantime, CBD (cannabidiol) has become a focal point for a more natural/non-drug treatment showing increasing anecdotal evidence of success.
What Are the Symptoms of Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia symptoms are generally characterized by increased over-sensitivity to pain. Even the surface of the skin can become painful to the touch. Areas of heightened sensitivity and pain are referred to as trigger points or tender points. Common areas of sensitivity and pain include back of the head, shoulders, chest, elbows, hips, and knees.
A combination of lifestyle and genetic factors may be involved in causation, but that covers most anything. It has been found that people who suffer from fibro symptoms may also be experiencing any one of the following.
It seems to be a never-ending cycle of symptoms with yet to be understood causations. It is believed that it can be brought on by a number of stimuli:
-
Stress
-
Trauma
-
Fatigue
-
Anxiety
-
Depression
-
Insomnia
-
Migraine & Headaches
-
Infection
-
Prior Diseases
-
Genetic Disposition

Thank you, Summer Breeze. Best wishes to all of you for your efforts and support.
Very encouraging information for those who suffer from fibro. In your recommendations, you mention nano-CBD as being ideal, but are there traditional (non-nano) products that you’ve also found success with?
Regarding fibromyalgia patients, I only recommend CBD Living products because not only do I use them myself daily, our members/patients report far superior results from nano CBD. That said, I do recommend (and offer for sale) CBD Pure 600 as your site does. My reasoning is to simply offer an alternative at a lower price point for those who prefer it for whatever reason.
