Low Blood Pressure
I have been hearing people talk about a lack of oxygen to the brain being a cause of inflammation, etc. I've seen where some say hyperbaric oxygen can cure fibromyalgia. So as I looked for ways to increase oxygen to the brain (exercise is certainly one), I find where low blood pressure will decrease oxygen to the brain. Wow, I have low blood pressure. The other night it was 81/60, though it is usually 90/70. Do any of you have consistently low blood pressure? Cause maybe this is one path to… read more
I've thought about trying Hyperbaric Chamber but insurance won't cover it arghhhh

Fibromyalgia And Severe Lower Back Pain
Hello everyone
Anyway I have a question to ask. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia plus a lot more issues a year ago. I believe I have had it way longer. After years of going to my doctor regarding my pain she finally sent me to a specialist. After all the test and jumping threw all their hoops I am still in severe pain. It has gotten worse with my age. I have severe lower back pain, It is so severe I now have to walk with a cane. I am unable to clean or stand for longer than 10 minutes before… read more
Yep. I believe mine is due to holding myself.
It is so painful that I try to move in ways that causes the less pain. I think my muscles tighten, so eventually they pinch.
Hope you get some ease… read more
