Are you in pain, but you're not exactly sure why? Do you fee exhausted and weak like you're coming down with the flu or something? If you are, you may be suffering from a condition known as Fibromyalgia.
PAIN is the most prominent symptom of Fibromyalgia. It is not a specific, clearly defined condition. It is generally felt all over, although pain or other symptoms may start in one region, such as the neck and shoulders and spread to other areas of the body over time.
Fibromyalgia pain has been described in a variety of ways including: burning, radiating, sore, stiff, and aching. It often varies with the time of day, activity level, weather, sleep pattern and stress.
About 90% of people with Fibromyalgia describe moderate to severe fatigue with lack of energy, decreased exercise endurance or the kind of exhaustion felt with the flu or with lack of sleep.
Some people report nervous system symptoms also. Many individuals feel "blue" or "down" although only about 25% are truly depressed. Some people also feel very anxious and report difficulty in concentrating or performing simple mental tasks.
Common symptoms of Fibromyalgia include: long term muscle pain, joint pain, fatigue, headaches, sleep disorders, numbness and tingling, bowel irritation and other related symptoms.

During the past three years I have suffered with intolerable pain from Fibromyalgia. My life became a complete nightmare as I was scared by a condition that consumed my entire life. I had to resign from my job, which caused great hardship financially and emotionally. My health benefits were also exhausted. I felt my life was over.
I heard about Dr. Taylor's method of treatment from a local support group. I knew in my heart this was my last hope. I doctored with the condition in the past with treatments of cortisone shots, anti-inflammatory drugs and anti-depressants which only caused more physical problems.
In starting with my treatments with Dr. Taylor, first I was x-rayed and he discussed at length what treatment he would be doing. I began low impact exercises which I was unable to do for years because of unconditioned muscle tone. The pain was always so severe, but with the low impact exercises on a three times a week basis I started to regain my strength.
Dr. Taylor's treatments of working on all pressure points started to relieve pain that I suffered for years. As weeks went on, the treatments he pursued along with the the exercise program became a big part of my life and has put hope back into it. Now my journey back to a normal life style seems bearable and the pain is not taking over my life. I thank god every day for seeking Dr. Taylor's care.
Gratefully,

I have had pain for more than twenty years. When the pain got really bad and I had to see a doctor. I would be diagnosed as having arthritis, bursitis or tendinitis. Finally about ten years ago I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia (FM) but still not much help was given for the pain. I started Dr.Taylor's program for FM about six weeks ago and now I am pain free. Thank you Dr.Taylor and staff.

Thank you Dr. Taylor! Your treatments for and knowledge of Fibromyalgia have definitely made a huge difference in my life. You understand that the pain I was in and the fatigue I suffered was real and not in my "head". You and your staff have made me feel that I'm surrounded by caring friends that actually know how I'm feeling. I would recommend to anyone that suffers from Fibromyalgia and/or chronic fatigue syndrome to seek treatment from you at Healthworx.
