Treating Fibromyalgia: Pain Relievers, Delta 8, Physical Therapy and more
Fibromyalgia is a condition causing widespread pain all over the body, as well as sleep issues, fatigue and mental distress. Not only do patients experience unexplained bouts of pain, they are also more sensitive to external factors, so things that wouldn’t cause any discomfort to someone not dealing with fibromyalgia can be very uncomfortable for someone who has it. This is referred to as abnormal pain perception processing. There are many types of treatment available for the disorder, including medication, exercise, stress management techniques and, perhaps unsurprisingly, cannabis derived products.
The cannabis craze has caught up with an increasingly larger portion of the public, and an increasing number of people are willing to give the products a try, lured in by the promises of relaxation, stress relief and reduction in the symptoms of anxiety or depressive disorders. However, the increasing popularity has had an additional effect: more and more products are popping up on the market, giving consumers an increased range of products to choose from. One of them is delta 8.
Here are some of the treatments that were shown to be helpful and useful for the people dealing with fibromyalgia.
Medication
Medication is one of the first things you’ll be prescribed if you’re struggling with fibromyalgia. There are many types that can help keep the symptoms at bay. Pain relievers are common, including acetaminophen and ibuprofen. They help reduce the aches and stiffness and allow you to carry on with your daily activities and rest when you need to. Your physician may also recommend antidepressants. Many of them act as muscle relaxants and help promote sleep, which is often a cause for concern for patients struggling with fibromyalgia.
