Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) is characterized by pain in the muscles, joints, tendons, and fibrous tissues of the body, especially in localized areas called trigger points. The diagnosis consists of widespread pain lasting for more than 3 months. The pain is widespread as in above and below the waist and on both sides of the body. In addition, patients must classically have 11 out of 18 trigger points.
When pressed with a force of about 2 pounds, the trigger points are painful, not just tender. Also, patients are frequently troubled by other symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, unrestful sleep, irritable bowel syndrome, headaches, decreased memory and/or concentration, chemical sensitivities, and others.
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition, there is thought to be no known cure and sufferers are encouraged to learn to live as well as possible with the pain and other symptoms. However, many patients with Fibromyalgia have been completely cured with the WT3 protocol. Some doctors feel they can help most of their Fibromyalgia patients with this protocol.
Like Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome, the diagnosis of Fibromyalgia is not made with laboratory findings. The cause of Fibromyalgia is still unknown.
