Fibromyalgia covers a wide variety of symptoms, including: muscle pain, stiffness, fatigue, and insomnia. Conventional treatments include medications that target muscle pain and trigger points, those that help with sleep problems and depression, and others that help manage stress and anxiety. Most doctors will focus on the most troubling symptoms, and prescribe the targeted medicine to enable the patient to function as well as possible. Exercise, relaxation and massage may also be employed to relieve symptoms.
Arthritis is another common affliction expressed as joint pain and stiffness. If you have those symptoms without noticeable swelling, chills, or fever during normal activities, it likely indicates the gradual onset symptoms of osteoarthritis. If you have painful swelling, inflammation, and stiffness in the fingers, arms, legs, and wrists occurring in the same joints on both sides of the body, especially on awakening, this may be signs of rheumatoid arthritis.

Homeopathy provides a viable alternative to treating these ailments. During the initial consultation, you will be asked to describe your experience of these symptoms, and then a remedy will be chosen based on your total picture. Homeopathy treats all of you, not just your symptoms. So as you become strengthened internally, your brain chemistry stabilizes and your immune system improves; and you will feel better and better.
Length of time for recovery depends on a number of factors. A general rule of thumb is that for every year you have had a chronic illness such as fibromyalgia, it takes 1 to 6 months of homeopathic treatment to reach total remission. People can experience a relief of symptoms before complete healing. Factors that increase the length of recovery include the use of suppressive medication and physical deterioration due to advancing age.
