"At the end of one day two years ago my strength was lost, as if you were working for two babies I assumed it was just exhaustion that would pass or the onset of a disease, the body ached from head to toe, the glands swelled, I felt tingling in the area of my arms and my feet froze, I had a feeling that..

Fibromyalgia and cachexia
Fibromyalgia and cachexia sound like strange phenomena and are often unfamiliar, but it turns out that they attack quite a bit, significantly impairing the quality of life. Statistics indicate that between 2% - 4% of the population suffer from the syndrome. An absolute majority of patients (95%) are young women aged 30 – 50 years. The disease is characterized as a female disease and has a pronounced genetic connection that is realized with appropriate environmental factors.
Fibromyalgia FMS (Fibromyalgia) and CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) cachexia syndrome, are chronic neurological diseases and are considered to be twin syndromes in which symptoms are similar. In fibromyalgia "muscle pain", the patient experiences mainly chronic pain in the bones of the skeleton, joints, and muscles. Today they know that this is a neurological disorder in the mechanism of pain regulation, the sensitivity to pain is higher and the memory of pain in the body is longer.
In chronic exhaustion syndrome, the main "experience" is of deep exhaustion lasting at least 6 months. Most often they appear together when the woman can range from periods when she suffers more from pain (FMS) to periods when she suffers more from weakness and exhaustion ( CFS). And as if this is not enough, "additional gifts" can also appear among them: sleep disorders, tingling in the hands, migraine, hypersensitivity to heat or cold, decreased physical fitness, irritable bowel, irritable bladder, non-cardiac angina (feeling of the block on the chest), accelerated pulse and a feeling of lack of air, anxiety and depression and disorders of concentration and memory.
Sometimes years pass until the patient is given adequate diagnosis and treatment. Today there is no exact laboratory test yet and the characteristics of the disease are very similar to the characteristics of other diseases. At the same time, there is a breakthrough in the conscious level of the population of doctors, thanks to the Blessed studies and initiatives of patients and patients, and in recent years various support centers and related websites have been established (e.g., Association A.).S.That's it.
Circle of fatigue pain
The routine of life is not simple for those who experience pain and endless exhaustion and need to regulate the existing energy for necessary actions. The patient can look relatively good but feel very bad. Usually, there is no identification and support from the environment which makes it difficult to cope with the situation.
Body and mind are two different aspects of the same being, one of the connections between body and mind is pain. Persistent pain leads to anxiety, impotence, dysfunction, and can lead to depression. When we experience pain, the pain is pulled by chemicals in the brain (such as serotonin and endorphins), the reservoirs of these are utilized and their secretion goes wrong. A circle of increasing pain and constant fatigue brings distress that causes increasing pain and further distress, an endless vicious circle.
Yoga philosophy refers to exhaustion and lack of energy as an expression of prana's lack (life energy) which means energy leakage or energy blocking in the body. A significant blockage may occur in an Energy Center (chakra) called MANIPURA - the "solar plexus", which is located between the navel and the thorax. The blockage creates a feeling that the pelvis lacks energy and is empty and can damage the digestive tract, liver, gallbladder, spleen, and pancreas. Practicing yoga and meditation aimed at this chakra, healthy food and a balanced life will lead to the balance of the chakra.
Exercise-yoga
Many cases suggest that in parallel with drug therapy and cognitive therapy, slow and ranked yoga practice contributes greatly to alleviating the symptoms of the disease and improving the quality of life. Yoga is recognized as a powerful therapeutic tool and can stimulate the patient new Healing Forces. As yoga teachers, promises of complete healing should be avoided, although sometimes the disease passes by itself.
Upon admission of a student suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome, it is important to diagnose his condition. Understand what degree of exhaustion he is experiencing, the painful and sensitive points in his body, listen to the story of the disease, and understand his personal experience. Exhaustion can be expressed in three levels: at a low level, it is characterized by a feeling of heaviness. At the middle level, the patient functions but is exhausted from any activity. The high level can reach a state of difficulty standing or talking (it is strange to see a young woman in this state, but this is not impersonation).
Since most patients are women, I will use a female tongue to brighten up some points regarding appropriate yoga practice:
• In my experience the most difficult thing in this situation is the loss of confidence in the body. The Earth drops under the feet, the body is unpredictable and disappointing, in one day all life changes. Through practice routine, we will teach the woman to build her confidence in her body anew, learn the boundaries of the body in motion, return a communication channel between her and her. The practice routine will be conducted softly, slowly, gradually and by its condition at each re-lesson, the woman will learn to practice out of respect for the ability of the body, with awareness and attentiveness from a new place to movement, breathing, feeling and constant changes in the energy quality of her body. It is possible to use the mantra accompanied by "I am open and fighting in a positive way."
* It is worthwhile to strictly observe a relatively short stay in poses because the concentration ability in this situation is very low. During training, a woman is forbidden to cross the "border" and reach an effort beyond the capabilities of the body. Her body may experience severe weakness that persists because that, weakness can accompany accelerated heartbeat and difficulty breathing. A condition that even a long rest will not make it easier. Another limit that must be learned is the correct range of motion in any position.
* A great emphasis in training will be directed to relaxation. We will teach the woman to consciously let go: relaxation of high muscle tone, relaxation of the mind, relaxation, and release of emotions, all this will contribute to the breaking of the vicious circle to which she was pumped. The part of the practice that will be conducted in the supine positions, close to the ground, will be directly proportional to the degree of exhaustion and difficulty of the same woman. Depending on her ability, she will move to sitting and even standing, ascension towards the sky.
* Practicing appropriate poses and breathing techniques, will teach her to "load" herself. Combining tools from female yoga is essential and encourages energetic reinforcement " in the empty area "through motility in the pelvic area and practice"Mullah Banda". A combination of bends forward and backward arches will help release in the center of the solar plexus. Inverted poses will help to relieve exhaustion. Twists for flexing the spine, in order to allow circulation in the body. Standing postures will help strengthen the leg muscles for rooting and hardening.
Examples of recommended poses:
Pashimutansna (pinched pose), Mahamudra,, Adho Mukha (dog looks down), Sarvangasana ( candle stand, preferably with the support of a stool or a bolster.) And Syria Namaskara (blessing of the sun in the style of "soft").
"I suffered greatly in the same year, I realized what pain is, the kind I do not wish anyone, great despair. Recovery from exhaustion was long and slow. I was helped by reflexology and daily yoga practice. From the moment I was in the place of acceptance and the bride (and it took time), every ability that came back to me surprised and pleased, and slowly my life returned to a blessed routine. Of course, I would have given up all this, however in seeing back only a year from my life and part of me was reborn, every sound and breath smell got a different shade...
Thanks for the existence of yoga in my life, which faith healed, and helped me discover mental powers and empowerment that I did not know I had and discover the creator in me, sharpened my love of the moment and love of life. "
