10 Helpful Tips For Better Sleep With Fibromyalgia Pain

Bill Martin — Thu, 20 May 2010 08:30:30 +0000

Fibromyalgia is characterized by chronic widespread pain and heightened sensitivity to pressure. Other primary symptoms are fatigue, sleeping issues, and stiffness in the joints.Some people may also have difficulty with swallowing and bowel and bladder abnormalities. Fibromyalgia remains unexplained by medicine at this point and can affect men, women and children of all ages. People with fibromyalgia often have very disturbed sleep according to Doris Cope, MD, director of Pain Management at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.She has concluded that even if they sleep for more than 10 hours a night, they still don’t feel rested. Research shows that fibromyalgia brings an automatic arousal in brain during sleep. The frequency of disruptions keeps the important restorative processes from happening at all.Outgrowth hormone is mainly produced during sleep. Without restorative sleep growth muscles won’t heal and neurotransmitters remain depleted.. The lack of a proper night’s sleep makes people with fibromyalgia wake up feeling un-rested and fatigued.The result is that the body cannot recuperate from a day’s stress. This will overwhelm the system and create an exaggerated sensitivity to pain. The pain is often widespread. The sleep problems can cause anxiety, depression, fatigue, and memory problems.The insomnia can take many forms. Whether it is trouble falling asleep or trouble waking up too often during the night, the results are miserable. Trouble getting back to sleep if woken up and waking up far too early in the morning are also symptoms of insomnia for fibromyalsia patients.Medications have been shown to enhance sleep while relieving pain but a lifestyle change will help sleep come more naturally.10 Secrets for Better Sleep with FibromyalgiaCreating a comfortable zone at home is one the most important keys to better sleep, whether you have this illness or not. It’s all about getting calm at bedtime and trying to stay that way.These 10 tips will help you sleep better: 1. Take a soothing warm bath in the evening before bed. You can bring candles or whatever makes you most calm. 2. Use aromatherapy. Our sense of smell has the power to transform our emotions. Lavender has a very calming and therapeutic effect. 3. Give relief to painful tender spots with a self massage device or tennis ball.4. Do yoga and stretch to relax your muscles and get you breathing very deeply and slowly. Your breath is very important in any pain management. 5. Listen to calming music. Even if you prefer not-so-calming music, try putting on some something that doesn’t over stimulate you. 6. Meditate to get a handle on intrusive thoughts and tension. Meditating in general helps to alleviate anxiety. Anxiety will often arise before a person tries to fall asleep especially if they are experiencing prolonged insomnia. Meditation before sleep will get you to focus on deep breathing and help to evade intrusive thinking. 7. Sleep in a very dark room. If you find them comfortable, try an eye mask. 8. Keep the room your are sleeping in as quiet and constant as possible or try a white-noise machine.9. Make sure the room temperature is comfortable.

Lawrenceville GA Chiropractor Talks About Headache Causes & Solutions!

Some Headache Solutions & Causes There are many people who frequently suffer from headaches, even on a daily basis. Many feel this is “normal.” In fact, when they come in for treatment, they may not even bring it up and only after asking if they have headaches, do they then discuss it, acting as if everyone has headaches. Others are completely debilitated and can’t go to work, drive a car, or even leave the house due to the intense pain and pressure, as if their head might explode. When patients come to my office, I’ve found it is very important to take a very thorough health and family history. I find patients frequently tell me important clues to the cause of their headaches. For example, if one of my patients indicates that she has had headaches, as long as she could remember and the family history includes her mother having headaches that were debilitating and an MRI revealed that part of her brain stem extended down into the upper part of the neck, this would prompt an MRI of the patient which could reveal a similar finding. Another example is a patient with headaches that occur only at the time of one week prior to menstruation. This may lead to the trial of several nutritional vitamin / herbal approaches aimed at reducing fluid retention or build up that frequently occurs pre-menses. Other causes have included traumas from car accidents, slips and falls, sports injuries, and other activity related causes. In these cases, examination may lead to a diagnosis of abnormal biomechanics in the cervical spine and chiropractic treatment addressing these findings may prove very satisfying. Other causes may include stress and/or psychological conditions that required co-management with mental health practitioners and/or their primary care physicians. The combined efforts of medication and chiropractic treatments are most satisfying for these patients. In general, the cause of headaches are usually multi-factorial and therefore, the most effective treatment is a multi-dimensional approach in which chiropractic treatment methods are, in most cases, the most important contribution to the successful management of headaches. Chiropractic treatment approaches include spinal manipulation, mobilization, muscle release techniques such as trigger point therapy, longitudinal and /or transverse friction massage, massage therapy, manual and/or instrumental traction both at home and office, physical therapy modalities including ice/heat, electrical stimulation (several types), ultrasound, light/low level laser therapy, infrared, diet and nutritional counseling, and stress management. Co-management needed for some patients can be arranged through this office and may include primary care physicians, physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians, pain management, rheumatology, internal medicine, neurology, physical therapy, as well as acupuncture. Most important is that you feel confident that if you, your family or friends require treatment for headaches, our office will provide you with a comprehensive approach most likely to bring about a very satisfying outcome or result.

Are Morning Headaches and Snoring Connected?

Bill Martin — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 18:01:14 +0000

They definitely can be. If you’re very tired when you first wake up, there could be many reasons. For example, persons with hypoglycemia or other blood sugar problems may need some protein to get their blood sugar back to normal after having not eaten for eight or more hours. Or you may be a night person who just doesn’t enjoy the mornings. Many times we wake up dehydrated and a big glass of water or cup of coffee can get us back to normal very quickly. But for many, it’s more than just being tired. Many people experience frequent severe morning headaches. Often snoring to blame. But why the connection between the two? Why does snoring cause morning headaches? One of the reasons that morning headaches and snoring are connected is that the person snoring has sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a very dangerous condition wherein someone actually stops breathing for a few moments because of restricted airflow. They then wake up just long enough for the body to force itself to start breathing again and are typically not awake long enough to even know that their sleep has been interrupted. When caused by sleep apnea the connection between morning headaches and snoring is because the brain is literally starved of needed oxygen over and over again throughout the night. If left unchecked this condition can actually cause slight brain damage so it’s no wonder that a person would get morning headaches from this! Sleep apnea is very common in persons who are overweight as this excess body fat puts undue pressure on the neck and cuts off the airway. Most persons who have it do not even know that they have sleep apnea. Considering how dangerous it is, if you have morning headaches and snoring problems, and especially if you are overweight, you may want to talk to your doctor immediately about medical intervention or treatment options. Other Causes Another reason that morning headaches and snoring are connected is because if a person snores very loudly or deeply, they are actually hurting their own head. That constant vibration of the dry tissue of the throat can cause damage to the entire back of the neck and head giving a person a headache. And of course chronic sleeplessness is another cause for morning headaches and snoring is a big cause of sleeplessness. If you’re trying to sleep next to someone that is a chronic snorer, you are probably very sleep deprived, whether you know it or not. Fatigue, irritability, restlessness, inability to concentrate, and falling asleep at inappropriate times are other symptoms of insomnia much like morning headaches. And snoring is a leading interrupter of sleep, not just for the snorer, but for those next to him or her. If you’re experiencing constant morning headaches, you should consult with your doctor. There may be other health concerns and issues that are causing them of course, but morning headaches and snoring are very common. These headaches can be part of other serious health problems that you may be having, or may be at risk of having, if you do not address your snoring issues immediately.
