Unknown: Although fibromyalgia can be transmitted genetically (it tends to run in families), no one really knows why someone gets it and others do not. There are some predisposing factors-namely being a woman between the ages of 20-55 years old.

Multiple Factors: To my mind, multiple causal factors are femaleness, delicate female pelvis, multiple childbirths, joint hypermobility syndrome, mundane low back & pelvis injuries, sacroiliac joint hypermobility, obesity, muscle deconditioning, chronic muscle spasm, multiple regional trigger points, chronic pain causal of sleep deprivation with daytime fatigue & depression.

Many causes MINE WAS: After suffering an ich (strike) from an avm very sudden onset 6 wks later i believe from muscle imbalance in my neck and spasticity. My opinion is fibro will ultimately be broken down into a constellation of disorders and saying fibromyalgia will be like saying arthritis or cancer only then will we be able to find one or many cures.
