Stress som forårsaker hypothalamus kan føre til fibromyalgi

Fibromyalgi er først og fremst en nevrologisk hjernesykdom. Det er syv ganger mer sannsynlig å slå kvinner enn menn, og det spiller ingen rolle hvilken nasjonalitet du er. Hypothalamus  delen av hjernen fungerer som en strømbryter/sikringsboks for resten av hjernen og kroppen. Det er som et batteri for hele kroppen.

Det er flere ting som typisk forårsaker fibromyalgi og kronisk utmattelsessyndrom til å manifestere seg, men i utgangspunktet er høye mengder stress det som får hypothalamus til å sprenge lunten, og skaper en rekke nevrologiske problemer, som hormonubalanser, økt smertefølsomhet, tretthet og ” hjernetåke “.

I hovedsak har du et dødt batteri som ikke holder en ladning, og det er grunnen til at så mange mennesker opplever svekkende tretthet . Sikringen som har gått kan skje på et øyeblikk, og du får ikke si noe om eller når det skjer.

Hypothalamus har gjort en systemomfattende ” avslutning ” og forsøkt å starte på nytt, i et forsøk på å beskytte kroppen og hjernen din mot ytterligere stress og skade. Som når du slår av datamaskinen og starter den på nytt fordi bruk av Ctrl + Alt + Delete ikke har fungert. Bare ved å gjøre dette blir hjernen permanent endret, som et datavirus som ikke kan repareres.

En person kan bokstavelig talt ha det bra en dag og våkne opp neste morgen og føle seg så helt annerledes, og hele livet ditt har endret seg fordi hjernen din ikke lenger fungerer slik den pleide. Mange Fibro / CFS- pasienter kan finne ut nøyaktig dag/uke/måned alt endret seg for dem. De vanligste ” triggerne ” fibromyalgipasienter rapporterer er:

• et virus/sykdom eller en langvarig reduksjon i immunsystemet
Lime’s Disease, Epstein Bar Virus, Mono er ofte forbundet med utvikling av fibromyalgi og CFS-symptomer. osv.

•a sudden traumatic event
A house fire, abusive situations, physical attacks, etc. Similar to PTSD, or Dissociation disorders, the brain is trying to cope and process the additional shock and stress, triggering the hypothalamus to “protect” the rest of the brain by flipping a switch.

•an accident
Car accidents, drowning, severe falling, etc. can cause the hypothalamus to be trying to “protect” by flipping the switch.

•medical or dental surgery
Any time you have surgery, it puts the body under huge increases in stress, because cutting into your body sends the brain “we are under attack!” signals.

•pregnancy
Because of the drastic hormonal shifts, joint stress, depleted vitamins and minerals, and the physical trauma of the birth process, pregnancy creates so much stress that for whatever reason the mother’s body just can’t handle it. Fibromyalgia develops during pregnancy or soon after birth. For many women, their Fibromyalgia symptoms and Chronic Fatigue are ignored as simple “hormone shifts” or ” new mommy fatigue”, when in fact her body will never really readjust back to normal.

• high-pressure lifestyles/stressful jobs/major anxiety
Workaholics, or people who don’t take enough time off, or just can’t relax and rest. In school-age students, the stress of studies, trying to get good grades, fears of the future, or even too many activities can cause an abundance of stress the body can’t handle.

For some adults, this means they get sick in the form of common things like high blood pressure, heart attacks, or stroke. Others can develop Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, or other random “stress-related” illnesses.

Many people are able to live completely normal, energetic, and happy lives BEFORE these stressful, triggering events. Any of these things can cause the hypothalamus fuse to blow like a light bulb that goes out. Once that fuse blows, basically your “brain is broken“. It doesn’t matter how old you are, or what gender.

Even children and teenagers can (and do) develop Fibro and CFS, especially if they have had an accident, undergone serious trauma, or had to have surgery. Being young doesn’t automatically mean someone is healthy, even if they “look healthy”.

This can happen to anyone, at any time, and once it does, there is no way to change that. You can’t just flip the switch back to fix it. The hypothalamus begins sending the wrong signals to the rest of the brain and to the nerves, causing the super sensitive fascia, painful joints and muscles, sensitivity to touch, and intolerance to certain foods and weather changes, causing thyroid and metabolic changes, and cognitive disruptions.

Ironically, the brain’s fuse box blows in an effort to protect your brain and body from further damage because of the prolonged stress you have already been under. This is the chief reason why so many Fibromyalgia patients experience a “Flair Up” of pain and other symptoms when they are under high amounts of additional life stress, like family conflict or having to pack and move. Things like exercise and many mundane physical activities are just too stressful for an already constantly stressed out body, so these things cause a flair-up of symptoms.

The body is already so stressed out from whatever life has thrown at you and being in pain 24/7 that you just can’t handle it anymore. The “Flare Up” will force you to slow down and rest, even when you have things you need to do. This is why a Fibro/CFS patient can feel okay enough to go out and do things one day (feeling “normal”) and be utterly exhausted for the days or weeks after, in a “Flair up“.

Because Fibromyalgia is so physically debilitating, in this way your body is forcing you to rest and slow down, so it can make an effort to heal itself and relax. This is why people with Fibro need to take steps to simplify their life and be as stress–free as possible.

Medicine and Science is just now figuring this out, and it might take another couple of decades for them to agree on a treatment plan that will actually cure the hypothalamus and flip the switch back on.
