Neurological: Fibromyalgia is considered a neurological condition and is a chronic condition. If you feel this is your condition, please get help soon. Chronic pain if left untreated or undertreated can become worse over time.

Foiled Fibromyalgia: Many believe that fibromyalgia is a 'dysregulation' of the normal sensory input of the body. If true, this irritability can lead to chronic pain for some. The most successful patients seem to be those who remain active despite their symptoms and address chronic inflammation through proper diet, herbal supplements and medication as appropriate. Address the mind-body connection with meditation.
