Just read onmy fibromyalgia that could be related to troubled sensory gating by brains. information overload and misinterpretation causing body pain?

Probably not: The common theory is that fm is caused by a central sensitization but there is little objective data to support this theory. There are a number of flaws in this theory. Several meds approved for treatment of fm when studied show they are at best only slightly better than placebo.
