See details: No one really knows the true cause of fm but it seems to be a neurologic disorder. It is a chronic disease but there are effective therapies available. Have your doctor refer you to a rheumatologist.

Interesting: As to the cause ; cure of #fibromyalgia, the jury is still out. The theory that this disorder represents a central nervous system pain sensory dysregulation is unproven. Peripheral pain sensor overload might be equally at hand. Chronic muscle spasm and a widespread population of muscle trigger points can be properly termed peripheral neuropathy pain generators.
