Generalized Symptoms of Wind Relating to
Fibromyalgia from the rGyud bZhi: rgyuད་ལས་rluང་གི་ནད་rtགས་syི་
• Pain which moves and is un-stationary.
• Stiffness and joints which feel hard and difficult to move.
• Shivering and feeling deep coldness.
• Pain worse with movement (exercise can flare symptoms).
• Feeling of squeezing or pressure or swelling, even if no swelling or pressure is applied,
or as if the body has been bound tightly.
• Stiff locked limbs held tight in extension or contraction, or muscle spasms such as
restless leg syndrome.
• Feeling intense pain, as if the bones are broken or the muscles and tendons are tearing,
or as if one has been badly beaten, or as if you are walking on hot thorns.
• Pains in the hips, waist, head aches.
• Insomnia, desire to stretch, feeling constantly stiff.
• Symptoms worse in the morning despite sleeping, heavy fatigue.
• Dullness or foggy mind.
• rLung points are painful upon touch.
• Tingling, numbness and loss of sensation in extremities.

rLung almost never acts alone:
In every rLung disorder, the nature of rLung either acts as a
conditioner or is directly affected by another imbalance
within the system.
• rLung spreads, increases, hardens, and intensifies
disease. This blending creates disturbed, excess or
deficient amounts of rLung.
• This in turn travels down a wrong pathway,
aggravating other systems as it enters the location it’s
attacking.

4. Bloated: sbོས་པ་
5. Paralyzed: འyེས་
6. Pain: གཟེར་
7. Mental / Emotional Instability: འyོས་པ་

Comparing manifestations of rLung with allopathic
descriptions, a clear affirmation emerges that
fibromyalgia is related to a syndrome of rLung.
