I would recommend a full workup by a Naturopath..there are many conditions contributing to this issue.
The very short answer is YES! Fibromyalgia (FM) can be treated naturally! BUT, one must understand a number of underlying dynamics have been at work for usually quite some time... FM typically does not just appear overnight, except in some rare and extreme cases. FM has, at its root, as most chronic and degenerative diseases, inflammation. This means that there are things in your lifestyle, environment and diet that all come into play and create the "perfect" storm. Gut problems, suspect/toxic foods, heavy metal toxicity, mineral deficiencies, use of NSAIDS (like ibuprofen), use of acetaminophen (Tylenol), thyroid problems, sleep disorders, and even EMFs ALL can have a part in this perfect storm. EMFs, for example, have increased dramatically in the last 25 years. Please read a bit about the possible connection, in your case, of EMFs and FM: https://emfblues.com/blog/fibromyalgia-the-missing-emf-link/
What is crazy-making for many people is that they have pain, reach for a painkiller and end up feeding the cycle of more pain and need for more relief. Ibuprofen wrecks your gut, which can contribute to immune dysfunction. Tylenol depletes glutathione, which is the body's master detox, etc. Here is a concise list of what you should consider doing ASAP:
1) Get Dr. Gundry's book The Plant Paradox; do his chapter 10 diet for 90 days.
2) STOP all poly oils (soy, corn, safflower, etc.); the only fats that are legal are coconut and high quality olive, and possibly butter.
3) STOP all sugars and grains and refined carbs and nightshades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, etc.)
4) Turn off cell phone AND circuit breakers to your bedroom at night.
5) Strongly consider taping your mouth closed at night... not kidding... this one hack has literally revolutionized most of my patients sleep, including my own! Remember, your
body does not heal unless it gets plenty of deep sleep. One clue that you are getting into enough deep sleep is that you WILL NOT get up to use the bathroom during the night!!! Remember when you were 14 years old, you rarely had to get up to do this. Fix your sleep!
6) Be sure you have enough magnesium, potassium, and other trace minerals.
Do all that for 90 days and I think you will be amazed! But, warning, no cheating!
