FMS or Fibromyalgia Syndrome is a condition where the body's nervous system changes normal receptors from non-pain transmitting into pain-transmitting ones. The result is painful joints and other localised pain where there really isn't any. One of the problems with FMS is that it can be difficult to diagnose, often leaving sufferers having to cope with long-term pain, and then when it is diagnosed there is no cure and doctors can only treat the symptoms of the condition, such as pain and the inability to sleep. Changes to your lifestyle may also help to ease the condition, but for some the condition can be chronic and relief hard to find.
What are the symptoms?
Many sufferers find they have a different set of symptoms from another – one of the reasons why diagnosis is difficult – but in general the main symptoms include: • Fatigue • Headaches • Insomnia • Lack of concentration • Muscle stiffness and painful joints • Tinnitus
How can hypnotherapy help?
Because FMS can affect much of daily life, disrupting routines and preventing sufferers from attending work, school or college, many people investigate numerous avenues of treatment to alleviate the condition. Hypnotherapy is emerging as one of the more successful treatments available and has been found to reduce pain. Hypnotherapy reduces activity in the pain network areas of the brain, helping the sufferer to relax and become more pain-free, and as hypnotherapy is also used to treat insomnia and memory and concentration problems it can also help FMS sufferers who are living with these symptoms.
