What is fibromyalgia? Fibromyalgia sufferer's have several things in common, including: widespread achy muscle pain, fatigue, insomnia, and "fibro fog." Even with these similarities it is not the same for every individual that is given this diagnosis, or "label" if you will. I have worked with hundreds of fibromyalgia patients and the one thing they all had in common was… [...]

"I have had fibromyalgia for the past 4 years and it has been debilitating.."
"I have had Fibromyalgia for the past 4 years and it has been debilitating. It stole a large part of my life and ability to live my life. The overall fatigue was the worst for me, in that I was so tired and weak I could hardly function. My day to day routine had to be modified so I could make it through the entire day, which meant limiting the numbers of steps I took in a given day.
If I walked more than usual, I would pay the price with unrelenting fatigue. Going to work each day became an issue of sheer will power. Just showering and dressing was enough to wear me out and the day hadn’t even begun. I slept my weekends away and was only able to manage to get my laundry done to return to work the following Monday. I live alone and didn’t have anyone I could ask to take over some of my chores, going to the store, watering plants, cleaning house….the average tasks we take for granted. I was too proud to reach out for help.
Many of my friends haven’t seen me in years, I did not, could not participate in weekend activities as I was completely worn out from my work week. And like others with this chronic illness, I look ok, sound ok…so what is the problem. The problem is, I was stricken down by my body attacking its self. My muscles seemed to no longer exist and they would attack me when I tried using them, which left me sitting/sleeping in a chair for the past 4 years.
Since finding out about Dr Boydston and his approach to treating this condition, I have gained strength, don’t feel as much fatigue and my muscle tone is returning slowly but, surely. Unlike medical physicians, I am receiving treatment as opposed to medication that will only mask the pain. With his treatment there is a light at the end of this miserable tunnel. I cannot express the over whelming feeling of hope that I have knowing
I am headed to recovery from this debilitating attack of my body. I look forward to regaining my life the way I remember it to be. The treatments are not the traditional chiropractic that you may have experienced. As far as I am concerned, this is nothing short of miraculous and I say ‘kudos’ to Dr Boydston for stepping ‘outside the box’ and using this unconventional method of healing!"

Those are all big words, but what they collectively represent is a likely solution to ending fibromyalgia pain, fatigue, and insomnia. Let me explain…
One of the best analogies or metaphors to use to explain the functional disconnection syndrome (brain imbalance in fibromyalgia) is this: think of it like a marching band. When both sides of the brain are working together, and they’re strong, and they’re in tune, and they’re in sync; you’ve got a marching band…or it’s like an orchestra. Everything sounds great. It sounds very pleasing. But what happens if the trumpets decide that they’re going to play a half a beat off? It’s not going to sound right.
That’s what’s going on in the brain of a fibromyalgia patient. When the brain is functioning properly, we get a very orchestral, beautiful function…but if just one section starts to play off tune or out of sync, then things get thrown out of time and we get all sorts of symptoms like pain, tenderness, fatigue, memory loss, rapid heartbeat, headaches, Irritable bowel, hormone imbalances…and more.

So what makes our fibromyalgia treatment approach unique at the Boydston Institute? What do we do, or look at, that every other doctor just brushes over?
Well the newest research, and there’s a whole lot of it, shows that the cause of fibromyalgia symptoms, in a lot of cases, is an electrical imbalance in the brain; not a chemical one, but an electrical one. Now in scientific terms, this is called a “functional disconnection syndrome.”
It’s like this: The wiring is there, it’s not cut, it’s just that the juice is not running at 100 percent. It’s an electrical imbalance. Now, although this is really well documented in literature, very few doctors or practitioners have any idea what this thing is or how to accurately diagnose it…or even how to treat it.
In Fibromyalgia , this Functional Disconnection Syndrome can affect different brain areas: [...]
Our fibromyalgia treatment philosophy at the Boydston Institute is really simple: treat the person, not their diagnosis.
Now why would I say that? Well, because a diagnosis is just a starting point, and on top of that, thousands of people are wrongly diagnosed every day from everything from migraine headaches to allergies.
So we don’t want to get caught up in what you could call a “traditional” diagnosis because it’s pretty generic actually. It doesn’t really give you any information on what you’re going to do to treat it.
So if a doctor says, “Okay you have fibromyalgia”…now what? There’s about 500 reasons why you can have those symptoms. It’s not the same for every person. It’s not like a cold that you catch and you take an antibiotic for it and everything goes away. It’s different than that.
So what we want to do is we want be very specific…because saying you have “fibromyalgia” is generic. It doesn’t give us information about what we’re going to do to change it. To make it better. To get rid of it.
So in our office what we look at [...]
