Re: The Fibromyalgia Spectrum

[Guest guest]

That IS very interesting. I have been a bit skeptical about the "non-progressive" nature of Fibro, because it seems that symptoms have been getting worse over time. This article below makes a bit of sense. I'll click the links and read further. Thanks for the info. pauline <foggynanny@...> wrote: Interesting.

the Condition Fibromyalgia syndrome is a broad condition with various subsets, according to expert Mark J. Pellegrino, M.D. Viewing fibromyalgia as a spectrum disorder helps doctors and patients understand the variability of symptoms associated with the condition. The spectrum takes into account conditions which overlap as well as diseases which can lead to fibromyalgia as a secondary condition. In an article which appears on Immunesupport.com, Dr. Pellegrino explains that fibromyalgia has 8 subsets. The Eight Subsets of the Fibromyalgia Spectrum Are: 1. Predisposed state2. Prodromal [preceding] state3. Undiagnosed Fibromyalgia4. Regional Fibromyalgia5. Generalized Fibromyalgia6.

Fibromyalgia with particular associated conditions7. Fibromyalgia with coexisting mild disease8. Secondary Fibromyalgia reactive to disease. Subset 1 exists when the patient is asymptomatic and there are no clinical signs of fibromyalgia but there is risk of developing the condition. In subset 2, the patient still has no clinical signs of fibromyalgia such as widespread pain but they do experience associated symptoms (for example: headaches, fatigue, restless leg syndrome). In subset 3, the patient has painful tender points but has not been

diagnosed.

Interesting break down of fibro. I haven't seen this

before. Most like stage one is the genetic

predisposition to developing the disease full blown.

HI ine, I totally agree about drs and people. I do my own

research as well and just as i think I know what I am talking about

some other info makes me question that.

As for people I am sooooooo tired of explaining so I just say I have

a back ache or my allergies are kicking....

seen was found in fat, 40something, frustrated, females. I had just

turned 40 but did not qualify in the other two categories. If he

had spent as much time learning about FMS as he did to keep his body

perfectly smooth, the metrosexual thing I suspect, he might have

learned more about this crazy syndrome.

perhaps in someways but i think just because you're in a more progressed subset doesn't mean things can't get better... once i had another condition treated the fibro got better as well... i don't think fibro has to be a mandtory slide into the abyss... blessed be liz in AZ <oriana_az@...> wrote: Gosh - how depressing is this :(pauline <foggynannyhotmail> wrote: Interesting.
