The most common symptom of RA is joint pain and morning joint stiffness. Several joints on both sides of the body are usually affected, especially those of the hands, wrists, knees, and feet. Affected joints may feel warm or appear swollen. People with RA may have other symptoms, including weakness, fatigue, weight loss, and, occasionally, fever.
Trigger-point pain at characteristic locations is the defining symptom of fibromyalgia. The most commonly affected locations are on the occiput (nape of the neck), the neck itself, shoulders, trunk, low back, and thighs. Other symptoms may also be experienced, including fatigue, chest pain, low-grade fever, swollen lymph nodes, insomnia, frequent abdominal pain, irritable bowel syndrome, and depression.
This formula contains powerful ingredients designed to address pain and muscle damage.
5-HTP is a precursor to serotonin, a important neurotransmitter involved in sending messages through the nervous system which is thought to be important in the treatment of Fibromyalgia Syndrome. Long term use of SAMe may help reduce pain and depression. Vitamin E and Vitamin C are included in the treatment of Fibromyalgia Syndrome as they are powerful antioxidants that fight against damage induced by free radicals in the muscle. A Complete Multivitamin Mix containing essential nutrients and antioxidants are essential in the treatment of Fibromyalgia Syndrome as they provide basic protection for the body.
If you are concerned or unsure about your symptoms, please contact your healthcare provider for professional medical advice. |
