Audiobook for $7.49: cli.gs “Dr. Sarno brilliantly explores the chasm between the conscious and unconscious minds, where psychosomatic ailments originate.” (Mehmet Oz, MD, co-author of You: The Owner’s Manual) Publisher’s Summary The Divided Mind is the crowning achievement of Dr. John E. Sarno’s long and successful career as a groundbreaking medical pioneer. While his earlier books dealt almost exclusively with musculoskeletal pain disorders, here Dr. Sarno addresses the entire spectrum of psychosomatic (mind-body) disorders. In Dr. Sarno’s view, the crucial interaction between the reasonable, rational, ethical, moral conscious mind and the repressed feelings of emotional pain, hurt, sadness, and anger characteristic of the unconscious mind is the basis for many mind-body disorders. The Divided Mind traces the history of psychosomatic medicine, including Freud’s crucial role as well as his failures. Most important, it describes the psychology of the human condition that is responsible for the broad range of psychosomatic illness. Dr. Sarno believes that the failure of medicine’s practitioners to recognize and appropriately treat mind-body disorders has produced public health and economic problems of major proportions in the United States. One of the most interesting and important aspects of psychosomatic phenomena is the fact that knowledge and awareness of the process clearly have healing powers. “As far as Dr Sarno and his colleagues are concerned, fibromyalgia is a …

With the controversy over Fibromyalgia, it can be hard to find a doctor who will diagnose you correctly, much less prescribe treatment options that will work for you. But thanks to secondary diagnostic options like the Internet and networks of educated and caring friends, treating your Fibromyalgia can be easier. One method of treating Fibromyalgia that many sufferers agree helps is changing your diet. While there is no ironclad recipe of foods to include and foods to avoid, you can use these tips as a starting point to easing your Fibromyalgia symptoms. The key here is remembering what works for some, doesn’t work for all. It will take some time and some experimentation to figure out the right diet modifications for your Fibromyalgia.
• Try to balance your diet. While there is no consensus as to the best diet for treating Fibromyalgia, the first goal of any sufferer is to get the body in as optimum condition as possible. Cut down on fatty foods and try to eat more veggies and fruit. Drink more water to help flush everything through your system. Cut down drastically on junk food. It will be much easier to make any further changes in your eating habits once you’ve started eating right to begin with.
• Take in more protein and less carbs. Even if you don’t suffer from Fibromyalgia, this is sound advice. Lean proteins, like skinless chicken, lean beef and fish, are an excellent and healthy way to fuel your body. They help keep energy levels high and can even help with hypoglycemia. The carbs, on the other hand, help the body to make insulin, which in small doses is good, but if your body makes too much, it can lead to your system storing fat. This isn’t healthy for anyone and can be even unhealthier for those suffering from Fibromyalgia.
• Avoid caffeine and anything that has caffeine in it. This may be close to impossible when you consider the popularity of coffee and soft drinks today, but caffeine is a diuretic and can exacerbate IBS symptoms that are common with Fibromyalgia. This means […]

What is Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is a condition, which causes muscular pain. This is accompanied by the softening of tissues around joins, causing a lot of pain and discomfort near the bone joints. Fatigue is another common symptom associated with this condition. Stiffness and sleep disorders are also common symptoms of this disease. The ?tender areas? of the body, such as the hip joints, the elbows, the knees and the area around the neck are the most affected regions.
This is a bizarre condition. A doctor makes a diagnosis when a person has had pain in at least 11 of the 18 characteristic tender points for three months or longer.
Symptoms of Fibromyalgia
1.    Many people confronted with the disorder experience an intensification of fibromyalgia symptoms over time. In most patients, the fibromyalgia symptoms also tend to spread throughout the entire body.
2.    Pain is the most prominent symptom of Fibromyalgia. It’s widespread—you can feel it from the head down to the knees—and pain becomes more severe when pressure is applied. In some patients, the painful body part becomes stiff and difficult to move.
3.    Difficulty sleeping and experiencing extreme fatigue are also signals. These experiences are some of the common symptoms, and they can cause an extreme disruption in your life.
4.    Yet another of the “common” symptoms many people with the disorder suffer from and experience are intense levels of depression and anxiety.
5.    Other common symptoms of Fibromyalgia are Irritable Bowel Syndrome, which includes diarrhea and constipation; migraine; facial pain; painful menstrual periods; tingling sensations; chest pain; increase in sensitivity and dizziness.
Causes of Fibromyalgia
1.    What causes fibromyalgia is still a mystery. Researchers believe it has something to do with the way the brain and central nervous system (CNS) interprets pain. Elevated levels of certain neurochemicals in the CNS have been noted in people with fibromyalgia.
2.    Viral infections have also been blamed for the development of this disease in individuals. A number of scientist claim that the disease may also be caused due to food allergy from food products such as fermented foods, eggplant, dairy products, wheat and potatoes.
3.    Sleep disorders are also suspected to be causes […]

Fibromyalgia is often referred to as the “Invisible” illness or “Imaginary” disease. It was not until 1992 that it became recognized as a true medical problem by the World Health Organization. There are a few reasons for this. Some say it’s because it is often very hard to diagnose since Fibromyalgia’s symptoms often mimic those of other diseases and illnesses. Others say that it took so long for the medical community to recognize the syndrome because over 80% of the people affected have been women. For decades doctors have been telling patients with Fibromyalgia that they are just hypochondriacs.
What is Fibromyalgia?Fibromyalgia syndrome is a common and chronic disorder characterized by widespread muscle pain, fatigue, and multiple tender points. The word fibromyalgia comes from the Latin term for fibrous tissue (fibro) and the Greek ones for muscle (myo) and pain (algia). Tender points are specific places on the body – on the neck, shoulders, back, hips, and upper and lower extremities – where people with fibromyalgia feel pain in response to slight pressure. Although fibromyalgia is often considered an arthritis-related condition, it is not truly a form of arthritis (a disease of the joints) because it does not cause inflammation or damage to the joints, muscles, or other tissues. Like arthritis, however, fibromyalgia can cause significant pain and fatigue, and it can interfere with a person’s ability to carry on daily activities. Also like arthritis, fibromyalgia is considered a rheumatic condition. You may wonder what exactly rheumatic means. Even physicians do not always agree on whether a disease is considered rheumatic. If you look up the word in the dictionary, you’ll find it comes from the Greek word rheum, which means flux – not an explanation that gives you a better understanding. In medicine, however, the term rheumatic means a medical condition that impairs the joints and/or soft tissues and causes chronic pain.
In addition to pain and fatigue, people who have fibromyalgia may experience: •     sleep disturbances•     morning stiffness•     headaches•     irritable bowel syndrome•     painful menstrual periods•     numbness or tingling of the extremities•     restless legs syndrome•   […]

The first step in getting suspected fibromyalgia diagnosed is to find a physician, nurse practitioner or other health care provider who is knowledgeable and compassionate. Maybe it should be the other way around: compassionate and knowledgeable.
The only sure way to find the right health care provider is by trial and error. You can narrow the field by talking to other people, especially people with fibromyalgia or who suffer some kind of chronic pain, and asking for recommendations. Rheumatologists are specialists in treating fibromyalgia, but many times an internist or family doctor is just as knowledgeable and helpful as a specialist.
Make an appointment with your chosen health care provider and tell him or her your story. Describe your pain and other symptoms and tell her how long you have had them. Answer their questions, and get a sense for how you are being treated. If you feel disrespected, or that you are not being taken seriously, make an appointment with a different health care provider. Keep going until you find a professional that you can relate to. Diagnosing and treating fibromyalgia is a partnership between you and your healthcare provider, and you need to be able to work together on this.
You can expect that a health care provider who is knowledgeable about fibromyalgia will take a health history, perform a physical examination, do some blood work and perform a point tenderness test. That’s the minimum.
The blood work will usually be to make sure there aren’t other problems, like rheumatoid arthritis, causing your symptoms. The real “test” for fibromyalgia is trigger point tenderness. The doctor will press on 18 specific areas of your body to test for tenderness. If you have achiness all over and are unusually tender over 11 or more of these trigger points, they will usually conclude that you have fibromyalgia.
Even this is a bit tenuous, though, because, as you know, the pain of fibromyalgia comes and goes. There are many other trigger points over your body that may be tender. The ones that are used for diagnosis were chosen by researchers as the ones most commonly affected.
Until […]
