4 Hormones Affecting Fibromyalgia Pain

Advertisement

4. Endorphins

On the other hand, endorphins are commonly associated with exercise. Exercise has been proven to help with fibromyalgia, and in addition to this, endorphins can help with long-term pain management. When a person exercises, the body releases endorphins, which have been known to reduce the amount of pain a person feels and also improve their mood as well. Studies have shown that people who have fibromyalgia do not release as many endorphins as healthy people do.

What Does This Mean?

In conclusion, a variety of studies have shown that people who have fibromyalgia do not have hormones that work properly. This in turn affects fibromyalgia pain management. Consider speaking to your doctor and having your hormones levels checked. Your doctor may suggest and prescribe supplements to help treat these hormone deficiencies.
