Tired, depressed, and feeling pains

Fibromyalgia is a condition characterized with unexplained pain in the muscles, chronic fatigue, sleep disorders, depression and megrims. Often individuals, suffering of this disease complain of headache, sensitivity to light or odors, anxiety, stiffening of the jaw, impeded concentration and abdominal pains.

In most of the cases the medicamental therapy of fibromyalgia is accompanied with adverse effects. Duloxetine, for instance, is frequently prescribed to relieve the pain and to improve the mood in such patients, but it is an antidepressant which may cause blurred vision, weakness, sexual problems, convulsions, and liver insufficiency.

CoQ10 =  nutrition to your cells

CoQ10 is a substance which is involved in the energy production in each cell of the body. When its levels in the body are low, cell do not need energy to function properly. CoQ10 is also a powerful antioxidant, which compensates the damaging effect of the free radicals. Physicians have established that some medications used to reduce the levels of cholesterols, cause disorders in the production of CoQ10 in the body, thus resulting in muscular pains and impaired cardiac activity. The additional administration of CoQ10 does not allow the manifestation of these symptoms, respectively.

It turns out that the CoQ10 deficiency leads to the same symptoms which are manifested in individuals suffering of fibromyalgia as well. This made a group of researchers from the University of Seville, Spain, to supplement the diet of four female patients diagnosed with this disease (aged between 43 and 66) with 300 mg CoQ10 a day for nine months.  

During the study the women provided information about the degree of fatigue, pain, sleep disorders, and anxiety their experienced, and about how their general status reflected on their everyday lifestyle.

In the end of the study all symptoms, typical for fibromyalgia, significantly improved in all four female patients.

According to our data, the peroral treatment with CoQ10 may turn out to be a new therapeutic approach in fibromyalgia patients, said the director of the study, Mario Cordero. More controlled clinical studies are required, which need to clarify the exact mechanism through which CoQ10 controls the pathological and therapeutic manifestations of fibromyalgia. In other words, nevertheless we do not know how exactly CoQ10 works, it is clear, that its additional administration promises to be the new way of management of this disease.
