Stress reduction can help people affected with fibromyalgia

by Claire Flores February 7, 2018 No Comments

I know what you are probably thinking after reading the title of this article. Well of course that stress reduction can help when dealing with fibromyalgia, it helps in general if you can reduce your stress levels to a minimum. With that in mind, recent research has shown that stress could play a major role in deepening flare-ups in patients affected with fibromyalgia.

Stress reduction can help people affected with fibromyalgia

People who are suffering from fibromyalgia will know how a flare-up usually starts. You start feeling pain in your tender points, and then the panic starts setting in. That’s where stress kicks in and takes the fibromyalgia flare-up into overdrive. Recent tests have shown that fibromyalgia patients who kept their emotions in check during an attack experianced a much smaller fibromyalgia episode.

Researches are therefore suggesting that people who are affected with fibromyalgia should try to keep their emotions in check, and their stress levels down in lights of an fibromyalgia attack which should help keep the symptoms to a minimum. I know it’s not easy, but since we don’t really have a cure for fibromyalgia, every little can help in dealing with the symptoms. Try it, meditate, perform mindfulness exercises, listen to relaxation tapes and see how your next fibromyalgia attack will go. Who know, maybe it won’t be that bad.

State chapters

CSSA has chapter houses in almost every state all up and down the West coast and sporadically throughout the entire continental US. Get in touch with chapter house leaders to find out how you can join meetings and seek membership in the CSSA.

Patrick Simmons

Patrick is the chapter leader for the northwest United States. He currently resides in Oregon, but because of the nature of his work as a traveling salesmen, he spends more time on the road than at home. That makes him perfect for covering a lot of ground and helping cover a large swaths of land for the CSSA. You can get in touch with him by sending a message using the contact page.

Julia Ling

Julia runs our California chapter, but just like Patrick she basically covers the southwest US. California has the highest number of members, so Julia has her hands full with just the sunshine state alone. However she still manages to help out with Nevada and Arizona, where far fewer members exist. Still we are here for everyone and Julia is here for you if you are in the southwest US.

Justin Colbert

Justin works as a paramedic, and he has plenty of experience dealing with chronic pain syndromes. He lives in Nebraska and works in IT. Ever since he was little he was that kid who had asthma, bad posture, wore glasses, and as he was finishing high school he discovered that pain he normally felt isn’t something normal. That’s when he got interested in chronic pain syndrome. He is currently healthy and experiences minimum symptoms. Get in touch with him if you are in central US and you want to hear from him how he managed to overcome chronic pain syndrome. In his spare time Justin loves playing with tech, PCs, smartphones, gaming, video drones, the usual suspects. Justin loves life and he doesn’t think having chronic syndrome means the end.
