Fibromyalgia and Hypoglycemia: What about sugar; is it a Problem?

What about sugar? Seems that the current research is going beyond the pain when it comes to Fibromyalgia. Recently, I was diagnosed with Hypoglycemia or low blood sugar. I said to myself. “Self, you wouldn’t let Fibromyalgia stop you, don’t you dare let Hypoglycemia stop you now!

Planting my feet firmly in the dirt I decided to tackle the problem. The why of Hypoglycemia has several explanations: Previous diet, genetic disposition, or a tumor. Now lets keep in mind that this is the simplified list of causes. Some of the more specialized sites I have visited are listed below. Pop by and tell me what you think.

My doctor had armed me with a decent diet and sent me on my way. I figured well that’s what he says. Lets check out the net and see what I find. Not only did I find the sites listed below, but I found much more.

It seems that Fibromyalgia patients tend to have Hypoglycemia. Not all of them but enough that a few doctors have coined the phrase “Fibroglycemia”. This of course is just a way of explaining that Fibromyalgia patients tend to have the condition.

What is causing it? Simply put, when we eat too much sugar our body overproduces insulin. This insulin burst suddenly and swiftly drops our sugar levels to their low. Based on the theory that Fibromyalgia is a nutritional/cellular problem that can be remedied by diet, exercise, and stress control and or life changes, this would make sense.

Fibromyalgia has long been thought of as a muscle disease. Doctors however cannot find damaged tissue through biopsy to proves this idea. The next step in the discovery of Fibromyalgia is of course to blame the nerves and then the brain.

This is a scientific process. Scientifically finding a symptom and following it back to the cause. Once there, you find the answer. These processes of clinical trials etc. are taking researchers long periods of time. I believe that soon they will figure out that the brain/nerves are the culprit but not for the reasons some would imagine.

When I first began researching into Fibromyalgia I believed in natural painkillers. I was looking for cheap readily available sources for pain relief. That is how I found the nutritional listing that I have supplied in previous articles.

While searching our health system for answers I kept coming back to one small fact: Everything, absolutely everything, depends upon the condition of every cell in your body. If the outer wall of a cell does not work, you do not absorb enough of the nutrients into them to support the basic chemical chain needed for living.
