An Essential Oil Blend For Fibromyalgia & More

Fibromyalgia can kick you from here to the end of the block and back again. Boosting serotonin is one way to help deal with pain, sleeplessness, depression, gut motility, endocrine function and a slew of other issues faced by those of us who suffer from Fibro. 

Lately there is a lot of hype about essential oil usage, namely because of the marketing skills of a certain company whose name sounds a lot like Toe-Derra. I take personal issue with their tactics and even some or their recommendations. I won't get into them in any great detail here, however, I have always believed in the power of natural medicines and am happy to provide this information for a blend that works for some of my Fibro issues. I feel it is a good option for relief of some of my own issues and thought it might be appropriate for others.

Your mileage may vary of course-please do not take what information I am giving here as set in stone and certainly do not use it in place of your own physicians advice or prescription for your health.

My Fibro Symptoms

How fibro has reared it's ugly head...

Every case of fibromyalgia is different. One person may experience a whole array of symptoms that another does not. So far there have been over 200 of them linked to this illness and I have a feeling there will be more in time.

I actually feel like I am what is termed a "hypochondriac" by many people because I have so many symptoms that seem totally unrelated. The other issue is that they can come and go-one day I may have debilitating pain and the next it can be quite a bit less. Itching is another that seems to come and go and I cannot relate it to any other cause-I will have problems with deep itching that lasts for hours, it will subside then come back again for days or weeks then disappear for several months, only to start again.

Fibromyalgia

An Intro-so to speak 

Can you imagine going through your day with your back on fire while you still keep going and doing and taking care of all the regular things that you have to do in a normal day? I don't mean a slight burning sensation either. I mean you actually are ON FIRE. Instead of running or dousing yourself or stop, drop and rolling,  you just keep plugging along while that fire just keeps burning on and on and on.
