00:00This is a disease that can be somehow avoided if we take care of ourselves at some point in our lives, it is genetic, how does it arise?
00:08Look, this is a very common disease, 2% of our population can have fibromyalgia, and 9 out of 10 are women.
00:16And deep down, it's like a toll, a toll that you pay a certain amount to feel pain,
00:25now you pay less, and a stimulus that is of a smaller amount, as happens to Connie, something that is from day to day, can generate pain.
00:33That is, a stimulus from a pin, I feel it like a toll.
00:37Therefore, the understanding of the environment, many times it is from a lark person, and it is not that,
00:43but rather it has phenomena of amplification of pain, because there is an ease to transmit pain by conditioners,
00:53that it is thought that there are genetic elements, but also environmental, when you have suffered a stress,
00:58a post-traumatic stress, a situation that is overwhelming you, such as the economic situation, the criminal situation,
01:10some stumbles in life that you cannot forget.
01:14Yes, for example, Constanza lost her job.
01:17All that is a condition of stress, which acts as if it were a radio,
01:21which moves all the knobs and is desynchronized, which makes everything easier to feel bad.
01:30And under those characteristics, the main axis, as we could see here, is pain.
01:37And what characteristics does that pain have?
01:40It is a chronic pain, which is characterized by persisting in time.
01:45Always in the same place, in the same area of the body?
01:47In multiple areas of the body.
01:49That's the bad thing.
01:50It's like a general body pain.
01:52Sure, like the joke of Álvaro Salas, who said, it hurts here, it hurts here, it hurts here, it hurts here,
01:58and what does it have? Finger fractures.
02:02So, deep down, the points it has, the pain is maintained, and it takes pain therapy, and it is not removed.
02:13The chronic pain limits your function and makes you dependent, and that lowers your self-esteem.
02:18Let's see the second one.
02:19The second point is that if you are suffering from a condition that constantly overwhelms you,
02:25there comes a time when you get tired.
02:27That constancy, that ability that Connie has to get up every day,
02:32there comes a time when the battery runs out, and you feel tired, you feel like you don't want to do anything.
02:38It's a permanent fatigue.
02:39Permanent.
02:40Because it is also very concentrated in pain.
02:42And that which concentrates you in pain makes you lose focus in your day-to-day,
02:48in your purpose, in your dream.
02:50That's why, congratulations again that we have a mission.
02:55The decrease in concentration, I told you, I anticipated it.
02:58Concentration in pain deconcentrates you in your daily life, in your dreams, in your purposes, in your ideals.
03:05And this is even called the nebula of fibromyalgia,
03:08as it makes you omnipotent, excuse me,
03:12in such a way that you lose focus, direction, and you have to resume it,
03:17managing pain and managing all these little knobs
03:20to reach a balance and return to the music of your life.
03:24The final point that characterizes this are the alterations of sleep and mood.
03:29There is a triad, which is chronic pain, alteration of sleep, alteration of mood or depression.
03:36That triad occurs very often.
03:42They don't sleep.
03:44You can say that it hurts because of the problem of pain.
03:47Chronic pain lowers your mood and this generates persistence of pain.
03:54It lowers your levels to acquire a painful and discomforting sensation.
03:59And one thing leads to another, finally.
04:01And you say that, in addition, this lasts for three months and you have to consult.
04:05And probably there is some treatment. Is there a way back in all this?
04:08There is a way back, but it requires, again, I repeat,
04:11we, in general, our world is binary.
04:15And this is multidimensional.
04:17And suddenly, with all due respect to my colleagues,
04:20sometimes we see only a piece and we don't see it globally.
04:25And at the end, the patient goes like pecking between doctor and doctor
04:29and gets full of medication and we don't find the solution.
04:32Well, definitely, if you talk about 2% of the population that has fibromyalgia,
04:37it is an important number of people.
04:39And there are some who are probably not even diagnosed and live with this pain.
04:43Thank you very much, doctor.
04:46He explained to us, but clearly, everything that has to do with fibromyalgia.
04:50I want to get back in touch with Clarissa Muñoz
04:52because she has a tremendous mission today, which is to let us know a...
