Guest guest Posted November 13, 1999 Report Share Posted November 13, 1999 My first thought when I read this was that maybe there is something there in the spinal canal or in the meninges causing swelling?

Guest guest Posted November 15, 1999 Report Share Posted November 15, 1999 I have read a few times that fibromyalgia patients have insufficient circulation in their brains. So something like a yoga headstand or shoulderstand would be helpful. If people are in too much pain or are too stiff to do that, simply lying on a sloping board would also help with circulation. This sounds more likely than having an abnormal skull and spinal column. Chris. Hi and all, This falls in a category of theories you love to hate. For instance what is the treatment if you accept this theory - back surgery!!!!! Yippee, just what an fms patient needs to help recover. Yes, I know some claim they do recover,but I remain skeptical. Also, I think this idea is illogical in the face of the massive numbers of people who now have fms all over the world. Did we suddenly all develop abnormal skulls and spinal columns? I seriously doubt this. a Carnes > _____________________________________________________________ > Chicago, Nov. 11 (Bloomberg) -- Some neurosurgeons are treating a > chronic fatigue syndrome > known as fibromyalgia with brain surgery, the > Wall Street Journal said.
