Is there a cure for Fibromyalgia?  Can you reverse Fibromyalgia symptoms?  We have seen that there is no one definite cure for fibromyalgia for all people.  Although most fibromyalgia sufferers  respond gradually to a combination of alternative therapies and medications.  Yes, it is possible for most patients suffering from fibromyalgia to reverse this condition.  

Most sufferers of fibromyalgia can reverse their symptoms with consistent therapy consisting of stretching (specific exercise programs), sleep therapy, self care strategies, stress reduction techniques, physiotherapy, massage therapy, chiropractic (alternative therapies), anti-inflammatories, pain killers and natural supplemental medications.   Patients that have been cured of FIBROMYALGIA had one common thread, they were understanding and committed to participating in their own recovery.  

About half of all patients suffering from fms symptoms have difficulty with or are unable to perform routine daily activities, and are left wondering, "What is Fibromyalgia?" and "Can I reverse my Fibromyalgia symptoms?".  Estimates of patients who have had to stop work or change jobs range from 30 - 40%.  Nevertheless, the fibromyalgia cure remains positive.

What  are some of the Long-term Negative Behaviors of Patients with Fibromyalgia Symptoms?
The symptoms of FMS pain, emotional repercussions, or sleep disorders/disturbances may lead to self-medication and overuse of sleeping pills, alcohol, drugs, or caffeine.  These patterns must be avoided at all costs. You may want to consider the use of safe, balanced Natural Homeopathic Medications to help you deal with your symptoms and not get hooked on another pattern.

What  is the Long-term Outlook - Fibromyalgia Cure?

Outlook in Adults - Fibromyalgia patients may remain stable over the long term, with between 25 - 35% of the patients showing an improvement in fibromyalgia symptoms over time.  Regular exercise  and a healthy diet - nutrition plan significantly improves the patient’s outlook.  Although the disease is chronic, it is neither progressive nor fatal, and remission can occur in many patients who participate in disease management programs.  Patients with secondary fms symptoms, particularly when it is caused by injury, tend to have a more severe and less easily treated condition, with less chance of a fibromyalgia cure than those with primary fibromyalgia.

Outlook in Children - Children tend to have a better outlook than adults with more of a chance to reverse Fibromyalgia.  The course of the illness varies greatly.  While fms symptoms tend to wax and wane, most children with FMS tend to improve over time.   

Patients should be reassured that although the condition is painful, it does not damage tissue and appropriate treatment and lifestyle changes can help patients manage the illness successfully.

What  is the FMS Prognosis?
FMS is usually viewed as a chronic illness where improvement is common but recovery uncommon.  Medications are usually suggested for the control of pain, though their effectiveness varies greatly from patient to patient.  Self help strategies, as described in the self care pages, can have a significant effect on the quality of a patient’s life.

Self Management  to Reverse Fibromyalgia Symptoms
Patients respond well when they accept the reality of the illness and the need to lead a different kind of lifestyle.  It is extremely helpful to find your limits by listening to your body.  Experiment with different levels of activity and keep detailed records.  Symptoms are controlled by alternating scheduled rests with periods of activity.  A flexible approach in understanding the syndrome is also very helpful.
