Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Dr Ric Arseneau, on air from April 4th
What is Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia (FM) was recognized as a true syndrome by the American College of Rheumatology in 1990. FM is thought to exist in 2% to 3% of the population. It occurs in both men and women and women are affected 6 to 9 times more often than men. In women, FMoccurs most commonly between the ages of 30 to 60. FM can also affect teenagers, children, and the elderly. FM has no known cause. Current research into how the nervous system deals with pain has shown that various abnormalities are present in people who have FM.
Other studies have indicated that genetic (inherited) factors may predispose some individuals to develop FM. These genetic factors can affect how the body responds to pain, physical or emotional trauma, and illnesses (such as viral infections).
This work is at the research stage and not yet available for doctors to help diagnose patients with FM in their offices. But this knowledge can be helpful in the management of FM.

She did a lot of reading and research to find answers for her conditions and decided to try a holistic approach to improve her health. She changed her diet and took nutritional supplements to alleviate the pain and fatigue, and to boost her immune system. In just days, she noted considerable improvement which encouraged her to continue. Shorty thereafter her condition improved so much that she was totally pain-free. This experience prompted Julia to consider a career in the field of Holistic Health. She investigated dozens of different Holistic Health programs and chose Naturology because it incorporated not only physical well being but emotional, mental and spiritual vitality a well.

Maggie spent 20 (mumble) years in the corporate world. Granted, it was in wine, but it wasn’t all sipping and spitting! She led many large projects and cross-functional teams – many of them global. She had a unique career path, fixing a lot of broken systems, structures and processes, which gave her access to a wealth of tools and metaphors.
