A Case Of Fibromyalgia

Dr Joette Calabrese
A Case Of Fibromyalgia

Homeopathic practice is simple, special and profound — because it combines the art and science of homeopathic therapeutics with the joy of healing oneself, family and, of course, our patients.

Here goes — Fibromyalgia, a complex chronic pain disorder, doesn’t scare me. It used to, particularly, when I suffered from it nearly 35 years ago. But, not anymore.

Actually, the fibrous pain I once had was not my most pressing complaint [though it certainly caused a drag in my day-to-day existence]. It was worse during certain times of the month and better during others, but pretty much omnipresent.

What changed, and why don’t I have it any longer? Well, I started to revise a few things.

First, I stopped taking analgesics, antibiotics and any other such baloney. But, the real change appeared [which practically happened overnight] after I took a homeopathic medicine.

Which one? And, for how long? Hold your horses, and give me a chance to expound a little so you know what I mean when I use the word ‘fibromyalgia.’

Fibromyalgia is a condition that is accompanied by habitually debilitating fatigue and gut dysbiosis [which is often the underlying cause, along with anxiety, depression, chemical sensitivities, etc.]. In my case, the remedy I took worked so simply, so efficaciously, so thoroughly that it wasn’t long before I actually forgot all about the muscle tenderness and joint pains and concentrated on all the other stuff I was left with.

It freed me to unspool the bigger concerns: my gut. So, what was this remarkable remedy, you may ask?

If you know any homeopathy at all, you’ll totally get this. It’s the #1 remedy for joint, muscle and oft chronic pain and tenderness: Rhus Toxicodendron, or Rhus Tox for short.

The Subtleties of Homeopathic Prescribing

Homeopaths often probe into fears and dreams of patients, because these are the areas of least control. The unconscious level of the mind is where homeopaths partake in the big story of humanity as a whole: of the individual’s life, the archetypical initiations, transitions and thresholds shared by all humanity.
