Thanks for contacting HCM with your health concern and after reviewing your history I'm of the following opinion:
1. Since there is history of
Fibromyalgia thus consult with a
Rheumatologist who will be in a better position to exactly let you know what is wrong, till then:
i. Avoid
phenylalanine derived food which may trigger/mimic fibromyalgia symptoms: meat,eggs,fish,cheese, products containing aspartame, almonds, beef,legumes, nuts,peanuts, pork, pumpkin/sesame seeds, soyabean/flour.
ii. Fibromyalgia is not an inflammatory condition [thus turmeric is beneficial], and because there is no identifiable cause thus treatment is symptomatic, as a result both pharmacological and non pharmacological measures are used as adjuvant to get a good control of pain and extended symptom free period, such as:
. Relaxation and
stress management [stress is trigger response to fibromyalgia symptoms], thus yoga & Pranayama are helpful
. Physiotherapy: wax massage, ultrasound/infra red technique to minimize pain.
. Diet rich in omega 3 is considered helpful in alleviating fibromyalgia symptoms.
PS. you may opt for DLPA (D-L-phenylalanine) which is not habit forming, and has no known side effects, and is available in health food stores.
. Lyrica [pregabalin],
duloxetine both are used to relieve
nerve pain [peripheral neuropathy] in conditions like diabetes, fibromyalgia, arthritis,
chronic back pain.
