Fibromyalgia

Understanding fibromyalgia so you can make the right decisions

What is fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized by a disturbance in the body’s natural ability to control pain. Changes in temperature and the increase of stress can worsen the symptoms which in many cases appear and disappear.

Fibromyalgia symptoms:

The most common symptoms are:

pain

fatigue

sleep problems, insomnia, unrefreshing sleep

depression, anxiety

weakness

an acute sensitivity to odeurs, light and noise

concentration and memory problems

Some people may also feel:

exhaustion or a continuous fatigue throughout the day

numbness, and tingling in hands, arms, feet, and legs

headaches and migraines, possibly caused by muscular tensions in the neck and shoulders

morning stiffness

irritable bowel syndrom

urinary symptoms, such as pain or frequency

tender points when touched

muscular pain and stiffness

myofacial pain

transient loss of memory

the feeling of having a head full of haze like if it was inflated with helium

painful menstrual cramps

Fibromyalgia and the decrease in collagen production

Muscles contain connective tissues primarily composed of collagen. When muscles contract, collagen allows muscular cells to adapt to mechanical changes. The decrease in collagen production leads to the weakening of muscles, promotes muscular micro-lesions and causes a delay in wound healing. This decrease affects the intramuscular nerve fibres leading to a lowering in pain tolerance, as observed in patients with fibromyalgia.

Study – Decrease in fibromyalgia symptoms

A study in the United Sates, by Dr. Gary B. Olsen and his team, showed that a supplement of collagen hydrolysate can effectively reduced fibromyalgia symptoms(1).

This study showed that after 3 months of collagen intake, patients with chronic fibromyalgia experimented :

a total pain decrease of 25%

an improvement in uninterrupted sleep of 25%

morning joint and muscle stiffness diminished by 32%

34% improvement of chronic headaches

feelings of numbness improved by 11%

36% improvement in irritable bowel syndrome

memory and cognitive state increased by 35%
