Could insulin resistance be the cause of fibromyalgia? Quote:

My acquaintance with fibromyalgia has T2D, so it fits. He also doesn't consume much magnesium and doesn't take any supplements. Maybe it's IR combined with nutrient deficiencies?

I have wondered this, too. And perhaps there are inefficiencies such as poor glucose uptake, or pyruvate blocks, or who know how many undiscovered malfunctions.... And perhaps there are environmental factors that have caused damage, too, such as VOCs, ozone, EMFs. I agree that LC and supplements help very much. :) |
I have found Dr. Sarah Myhill of the UK. She has an entire wiki on treating chronic fatigue syndrome and all its many manifestations.
https://www.drmyhill.co.uk/wiki/Main_Page DH is following her protocol which is predominantly a ketogenic diet and certain supplements. We have a doctor who is running various tests, but he doesn’t want to treat DH’s condition. “I’m not that kind of specialist.” “Dude! No one is!” So it’s all the better we are following Dr. Myhill’s instructions. |

It's sad that the Standard Of Care has caused doctors to stop practicing medicine. Quote:
Holy information overload! Batman! I'll probably spend most of my free time reading through the tabs that I have open. Thank you! Sadly, fatigue is accepted as normal. My mom has been having unusual fatigue in the past few weeks. She had her well visit with her doctor and complained of unusual fatigue. The doctor's response was that most of her patients were tired and so's the doctor. |

So much for the fine art of diagnosis. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle modeled Sherlock Holmes after the methods of his medical college professor, Dr. James Bell. This was a time when diagnosis was king, and there was relatively little they could do. Now, we have the opposite problem! |
There's two more stages after insulin resistance: cortisol resistance. Then, death.
I'm coming back from cortisol resistance. |
WB, so glad your are fighting your way back!!

One of those diseases where due to a certain "character" traits people probably get a lot of "it's all in your head" and suck it up armchair (or even "professional") diagnoses... Us schizoaffective bipolars just look at you like you're stupid (just exactly like it :lol: ) if you tell us it's all in our heads... that's just exactly the problem... and have to stand calmly by while people reassure each other that they're not crazy, because crazy people are awful.... :D What was I talking about? The preamble is so I can point out possible neurological connections for fibromyalgia, without anybody daring to be insulted. :lol: Pain really is largely in our head, and people who think psychological means "not real" or non-biological are freaking nuts. Low carb dealt with a lot of pain issues for me. Couldn't sleep on my side, starting in my mid-twenties. Often woke up to a frozen neck/shoulder, it'd start with stiffness in one area and then travel across my back, might take a week or more to resolve. This is around when my first big psychotic episode began, I sometimes had some slight auditory hallucinations before then, was always a bit socially anxious/paranoid but nothing anyone would bother to diagnose. I don't usually think about it this way, but the metabolic syndrome type stuff did show up around the same time that the psychotic symptoms really ramped up. Psychosis usually shows up when people are just going out on their own, late teens, early twenties. Usually when they start mostly feeding themselves, too, probably worse than their parents fed them. Going from Atkins to a stricter high fat keto seems better for the mental stuff--but also physically. Not a lot of pain issues with Atkins, but I did have a shoulder injury that was sort of nagging for more than ten years--going more ketogenic/near carnivore pretty much resolved it. If I overeat protein for a few days, I can just about tell which shoulder was bad, but mostly it feels just as good as the other shoulder. |
To me there's no question that low carb in various forms resolves issues we might call sub-clinical, in that it never drove us to seek mental help, but was a constant.
For me, it's anxiety, which has pretty much gone away due to the hyper-nutrition approach I have taken. Looking back, my autoimmune illness announced itself with a panic attack. Mind and body are interwoven. |
