Breaking the Fibro Code Penny Chiasson

Chronic pain has become a crisis in our country. Physicians are overwhelmed and burnt out with the levels of chronic pain and illness they are seeing in a new healthcare environment that does not support taking time with the patient. Licensed healthcare professionals work to understand and treat chronic diseases such as fibromyalgia every day. The foundation of these diseases is complex. Because there is no one single identifiable cause and no one effective treatment, practitioners can become frustrated helping you find an effective solution. This is why it is so challenging for providers when they are trying to help you. Fibromyalgia is a brain-based syndrome. You may experience many other ailments, along with fibromyalgia and chronic pain. It is not uncommon to see reflux disease, irritable bowel syndrome, neuropathy, migraines, skin issues, and many more symptoms that I don't have room to list here. I want you to know a diagnosis of fibromyalgia does not mean you have to suffer. You have options.
