Fibromyalgia: Medical Nonsense vs. Chiropractic Sense in Marin

Fibromyalgia... a terrible affliction, with all kinds of horrendous suffering and disabilities.

The medical field, as usual, has come up with a foolish solution, a drug to cover up the symptoms, Lyrica (pregabalin), an anti-convulsant. Does fibromyalgia involve convulsions? No. No matter to the medical geniuses. Here's the "serious" side effects, the ones for which you are instructed to call your doctor immediately. (Of course, these days, if your doctor isn't in, the "caring" voice mail will instruct you to call 911.) Ready? Here's the list:

• blurred vision, double vision, or other changes in eyesight
• hives
• rash
• itching
• blisters
• swelling of the eyes face, throat, mouth, lips, gums, tongue, head or neck
• shortness of breath
• wheezing
• muscle pain, tenderness, soreness, or weakness, especially if it comes along with fever
• chest pain
  The regular side effects: tiredness, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, constipation, gas, bloating, ''high'' or elevated mood, speech problems, difficulty concentrating or paying attention, confusion, difficulty remembering or forgetfulness, anxiety, lack of coordination, loss of balance or unsteadiness, uncontrollable shaking or jerking of a part of the body, muscle twitching, weakness, increased appetite, weight gain, swelling of the arms, hands, feet, ankles, or lower legs, . back pain. 
  You have enough problems with fibromyalgia. You need more with this miracle drug???
  Does this drug address the CAUSE? Of course not. In the TV commercial, they have some cockamamie explanation that fibromyalgia is "believed" to be from overactive nerves to the muscles, causing the pain. THIS IS NONSENSE. Nerves do not decide to go ahead and make your life hell. But is there is vertebral subluxation, interference to the function of those nerves, they may become hyperactive, which could result in pain.
  
  
  WARNING ABOUT SOME SO-CALLED FIBROMYALGIA EXPERTS WHO CALL THEMSELVES CHIROPRACTORS: A real chiropractor is does not treat fibromyalgia, nor any disease. He is certainly not an "expert" in fibromyalgia, or any other disease. A real chiropractor (straight chiropractor) understands that your own Innate Intelligence (the intelligence that runs your body from the moment of your conception to the moment of your death) is THE expert. The sole mission of the chiropractor is to correct interference to the full expression of your Innate Intelligence, so that your body can heal and normalize. 
  
  
  Yes, even from something as horrible as fibromyalgia. Yes, I know that this is confusing because it is so simple and straightforward.It is often that way with the truth.
