Chemical Sensitivity Fibromyalgia
Chemical sensitivities and exposure to chemicals can lead to fibromyalgia. Although some cases of fibromyalgia caused by chemicals are the result of a sudden exposure to a known culprit, most are caused by long-term exposure to an unknown agent or by sensitivities to a chemical that is safe for most people.
An In-Depth Look At Chemical Sensitivity Fibromyalgia
We are exposed to thousands of chemicals each day. For most people, this has little relevance. However, to some, exposure to certain chemicals can result in physiological disorders in the body.
In chemically sensitive individuals, exposure to chemicals on a daily basis can lead to neuroendocrine disorders (imbalanced hormones). This can lead to a vicous cycle of total body system disfunction known as the vicous cycle of fibromyalgia.
You May Have Chemical Sensitivity Fibromyalgia If...
- Your symptoms began following exposure to a known harmful chemical;
- You live in an old home;
- You are unusually sensitive to perfumes, dyes, and other common chemicals;
- You get rashes frequently "for no known reason";
- You seem to have a constant problem with allergies.
Recommendations for Chemical Sensitivity Fibromyalgia
Chemical sensitivity fibromyalgia requires care that focuses on boosting the immune system and decreasing exposure. Two extremely powerful immune boosters are
hyperbaric oxygen therapy and
intravenous micronutrient therapy. Decreasing exposure requires identifying chemicals you are sensitive through a battery of testing, and then learning how to avoid these chemicals.
