Guest guest Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Considering that the latest news on this condition is that the very poor sleep which sets off the other symptoms is likely caused by hypothamlmic dysfunction, does anyone have a suggestion for a kriya that powerfully focuses on "resetting" the hypothalmus?

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 I have fibromyalgia myself and it¹s been suggested as also being caused by too much Pitta. I would love to hear any and all answers on this subject, as well, cause I¹m a wuss and I don¹t like being in pain so much.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Sat Nam, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia nine years ago. I was fortunate to have been diagnosed in the early stages (as opposed to having to wait years for a diagnosis). I believe that because of my many years of yoga practice I was able to recognise something was wrong. There are many thoughts on how to deal with fibromyalgia. Dr. Dharma Sinh Khalsa has some wonder books out, there are three that I would recommend to anyone with fibromyalgia. The first is THE PAIN CURE, in this book he has a kundalini kyria just for fibromalgia, next is MEDITATION AS MEDICINE, great book he medical based on symptoms as well as chakras and last ishis book FOOD AS MEDICINE great nutritional advice. So what do I do? Yoga, yoga, yoga-okay I also teach yoga. Exercise is extremely important to keep the muscles strong. I have found that I have a gluten intolerence (no wheat, rye or barley or their byproducts). When I eleminated gluten from my diet I improved greatly. I take a multi vitamin most of the time, when I am having a flair I increase my malic acid/magnesium intake to fairly high doses. The herbs I use are turmeric (in the form of compound P), passionflower and if my sleep patterns are really bad I use a tea made by Alvita called lullabye tea, this has valerian root, passionflower, hops and melatonin in it. However before you accept the diagnosis of fibromyalgia you need to make sure that your thyroid is functioning properly for you. Many of the same symptoms from fibromyalgia are also a sign of a low functioning thyroid, in this case any kirya for the fifth chakra will help, also kirya for metabolism/adreanals (the two often go hand in hand). I hope this information has been helpful, if you need more help please email me directly or through the group. On more thing, if you eat white -flour, sugar, rice try removing it from your diet. Oh, candida can also be a problem for someone with fibromyalgia.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Sat Nam, I also have fibromyalgia, altho I'd say it's "in remission" now :-). It came along with chronic fatigue in 1994. I would also recommend the Dr. Dharma books mentioned by Marva, as well as the advice on herbs & supplements. I've had my thyroid tested several times in the last 12 years & the results are always well within the normal range. However, my thyroid IS enlarged, so I have it checked regularly with ultrasound, & do fifth chakra sets & meditations. In my experience it was the pain of fibromyalgia that led to the inability to sleep well, & not the reverse. In the early years herbs did not facilitate my sleeping for longer than 20 minutes at a time. I would occasionally take Tylenol, etc. just to get a few hours of rest, but I tried not to take that type of painkiller too often. Research that I read somewhere (& I'm sorry that I can't remember where) suggested that fibromyalgia has to do with an over- sensitivity of the pain receptor cells to even slight discomfort. In other words, the body feels & processes even light touch as though it is excruciating, & then gives us the message that it IS unbearable. If fibromyalgia has ever prevented you from covering yourself with just a bedsheet, you know what I mean. This concept resonated with me intuitively. I felt that my own condition was caused by my refusal to attend to my body's being in pain for a long time. I pushed it, worked it hard, subjected it to continuous stress, & did not give it any real support (nutritional, recreational, spiritual) to counter the demands I made on it. I acknowledged that it was in pain but told it, basically, "There's nothing I can do about it; that's just the way life is; this is just what we have to go through to get where we want to go." And perhaps most importantly, I felt, & thought, "No one else can do this for me. No one can help me. No one is there to support me. If I don't do it for myself, no one else will. I AM ALL ALONE IN THE WORLD." I felt that my body finally decided to get my attention by going to an extreme. If I wouldn't intervene when it was in dire straits, it would be in dire straits ALL THE TIME, so that I could no longer ignore it. It would turn even the most "normal" stimulus into an excruciating pain to be reacted to vehemently, until I started down the path of developing a new & healthy relationship to it. I did find kundalini yoga to be crucial to my healing. I have a long write-up about it on my website, if anyone is interested in the details. Go to www.dancingcranes.org, to the "What's New" page, & scroll down a bit to "The Power of Naad". Blessings, Nirvair Kaur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
