How can relaxation techniques help in the treatment of fibromyalgia?

Relaxation techniques can help reduce pain levels and other symptoms of fibromyalgia. They are most helpful when combined with other pain management techniques, such as cognitive behavioral therapy. When you are learning a new relaxation technique, sit in a comfortable chair in a quiet room.

Don't cross your arms or legs, and make sure your feet are resting flat on the floor. Close your eyes and begin the exercises. While you are first learning these techniques, practice them once or twice a day for 15-20 minutes, hopefully at a time when your symptoms are mild.

Once you have regularly practiced and mastered the techniques, you will be able to achieve deeper states of relaxation during your 15-20-minute sessions. You also will be able to practice mini-relaxation sessions whenever you feel an increase in stress, anxiety, or pain. As with any skill, you will need to practice for a while before you feel comfortable with the exercises, and they are consistently helpful when your stress or pain levels are high.

Working with a behavioral psychologist can help you master these skills.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
