Fibromyalgia is often called a mystery illness that causes debilitating pain and fatigue. Most patients take pills to help relieve symptoms. Now, new technology is offering help without the side effects of medication.

Pamula Floyd has been dealing with the pain of fibromyalgia for the past 15 years.

Floyd says, “The first time it happened I woke up I could not move.”

Dr. Erik Hiester says the condition affects up to six percent of the population, mostly women, and causes a myriad of symptoms.

Dr. Hiester says, “Such as fatigue, difficulty sleeping, and cognitive problems difficulties with mental clarity.”

Medications to treat symptoms have been the main option for patients … until now.

Dr. Hiester says, “Hummingbird is a new option for the treatment of fibromyalgia without the side effects of medications.”

The bathroom scale-like device made by vital motion is controlled through an app on your smart phone.

Dr. Hiester says, “That produces a very gentle vibration that helps to stimulate and activate the muscles in the calf.”

Dr. Hiester says that stimulation is called the calf muscle pump.

Dr. Hiester says, “That activation results in the return of the venous fluids and lymphatics back to the heart and back to the rest of the body.”

He says that increased circulation helps patients without pills.

Dr. Hiester says, “We’ve found significant improvement in sleep, in fatigue and in cognitive dysfunction.”

Floyd says the first night after using the hummingbird she didn’t wake up with leg cramps.

Floyd says, “By the third night, the hip pain was gone, the thigh pain was gone, my legs were not swelling like they usually do.”

Allowing her to enjoy the little things … like taking a walk without pain. Floyd adds the device has also helped her with what she calls ‘fibro fog’.

The hummingbird is not covered by insurance and costs around $300.
