See below: Fibromyalgia does not affect blood flow to brain, and not sure what you refer to regarding "that case of low blood flow". Provide more detail or specifics so we can answer.

Move move move: I have many patients and family members with fibromyalgia. It's believed to be widespread neurological disorder affecting neurotransmitters in the brain and the peripheral nervous system. You ache all over and sometimes feel "off" mentally. The best way to treat all symptoms is exercise and nutrition. Meds work for a while, in the short-term. Exercise improves brain blood flow, too.
