What is Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia
is
a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by
fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues. Researchers believe that fibromyalgia
amplifies painful sensations by affecting the way your brain processes pain
signals.
Sometimes symptoms begin after a physical trauma, surgery, infection or significant psychological stress.
In other cases, symptoms gradually accumulate over time with no single
triggering event. … Women are much more
likely to develop fibromyalgia than are men. Many people who have
fibromyalgia also have tension
headaches, joint disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety and depression.
While there is no cure for fibromyalgia,
a variety of medications can help control symptoms. Exercise, relaxation and
stress-reduction measures may also help.
Symptoms and Diagnosis of Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia symptoms include widespread body pain, fatigue, poor sleep and mood problems. But
all of these symptoms are common to many other conditions. And because fibromyalgia
symptoms can occur alone or along with other conditions, it can take time to
tease out which symptom is caused by what problem. To make things even more
confusing, fibromyalgia symptoms can come and go over time. That's why it can
take a long time to go from fibromyalgia symptoms to a fibromyalgia diagnosis.
No specific test for fibromyalgia.
Fibromyalgia can't be easily confirmed or ruled out through
a simple laboratory test. Your doctor can't detect it in your blood or see it
on an X-ray. Instead, fibromyalgia
appears to be linked to changes in how the brain and spinal cord process pain
signals. Because there is no test for fibromyalgia, your doctor must rely
solely on your group of symptoms to make a diagnosis. In the American College
of Rheumatology guidelines for diagnosing fibromyalgia, one of the criteria is
widespread pain throughout your body for at least three months.
"Widespread" is defined as pain on both sides of your body, as well
as above and below your waist.

Cause of Fibromyalgia
No one knows what causes fibromyalgia; however ... people with it may have abnormal levels of Substance P, a chemical that helps transmit and
amplify pain signals to and from the brain. Persons with fibromyalgia it is
as though the volume control is turned up too high in the brains’ pain processing areas. https://books.google.com/books?id=NZYU0pNnvtQC&pg=PA101&dq=american+college+of+rheumatology+garlic+and+fibromyalgia&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CDAQ6AEwAGoVChMI1fjg5NHRyAIVCtljCh1kygh-#v=onepage&q=american%20college%20of%20rheumatology%20garlic%20and%20fibromyalgia&f=false
[P101 Risk
Factors & Preventative Measures]
Substance P is a small peptide that's released when the nervous system is stimulated. It's
involved in the regulation of the pain threshold (the
point at which sensation is perceived as pain). Increased levels of substance P
can make nerves more sensitive to pain and heighten the awareness of pain. Research
suggests that some people with fibromyalgia may have elevated levels of
substance P.
Substance P often functions as a neurotransmitter, which means that it communicates signals
from one brain cell to another. It's one of several neurotransmitters believed
to be dysregulated in fibromyalgia. https://www.verywellhealth.com/what-is-substance-p-715867

The Garlic Remedy
Garlic can relieve fibromyalgia inflammation … there's overwhelming evidence that
garlic can block the enzymes that bring on inflammation thus giving relief to
those who suffer from ailments like arthritis and asthma. For many
years, experts have known that a large number of pro-inflammatory but new
evidence has turned this idea on its head, lending credence to the theory that
many of the conditions associated with fibromyalgia are of an inflammatory
nature. But anti-inflammatory drugs can be hard on the liver and digestive tract,
so it's important to find another way to fight off inflammation.
Garlic has been shown to not only relieve inflammation, but can
eradicate the bugs that can bring on colds and flu, stomach viruses, yeast
infections, tuberculosis, and botulism. The herb has also been demonstrated to
reduce levels of the chemical that make your body friendly to certain viruses,
such as HIV. Using garlic cytokines (proteins excreted by cells in the immune
system) are found in chronic fatigue syndrome patients. Until now, scientists
weren't convinced that fibromyalgia patients experienced a similar inflammatory response, can therefore result
in a lower viral load. Garlic is also known to promote good heart health and
may also lower your risk profile for certain cancers. https://www.fibromyalgia-symptoms.org/hold-your-breath.html
When you are suffering from a hormonal imbalance, inflammation can occur, disrupting your body’s processes. Garlic can reduce that inflammation, helping
hormones so they do not have to overcompensate for those cellular changes.
