The Dangers of Drugs

for Fibromyalgia Pain

"A healthy body is the guest-chamber of the soul; a sick, its prison." Francis Bacon

The pain of fibromyalgia can be severe, and most people do not respond to conventional painkillers. According to Dr. Mercola the drug cartel has found a brand new market, wide open for the taking, with many people desperate for a magic pill. However, if you suffer from fibromyalgia, know that this is NOT your answer and not a wise option! In fact it is your most dangerous option, considering the many harmful side effects of these drugs.

Lyrica is a drug originally designed for diabetic nerve pain that was rejected because of its unimpressive results and many side effects, including weight gain, edema, dizziness and sleepiness. One of the primary concerns surrounding Lyrica is the tendency for this drug to cause substantial weight gain, especially considering that many fibromyalgia patients are already overweight. In three-month trials of the drug, 9 percent of patients had a weight gain of more than 7 percent, and their weight kept rising steadily over time. Side effects of Lyrica in particular include: Weight gain, Edema, Dizziness and Sleepiness

Obesity in turn can lead to even worse health complications, including: Diabetes, Hypertension, Heart disease and Gallbladder disease. This is a high price to pay, considering there are other, non-invasive options that will improve your overall health to boot.
