Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a condition characterized by pain in the muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Additionally, those who have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia may experience extreme fatigue and multiple tender points on the body. Changes in brain chemicals (neurotransmitters), sleep problems, genetics, and dysregulation of the system that controls stress related hormone release are all thought to play a role in the development of chronic pain. Those who have autoimmune disease are also hypothesized to have greater risk of developing chronic pain. Nutritional deficiencies, poor eating habits, food sensitivities, and impaired gastrointestinal function have all been documented in the worsening of pain symptoms.
