How Many People Got FMS Directly After Having A Bad Virus, Like Bronchitis Or Pneumonia?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I got FMS directly after I had pneumonia. There were no other identifiable triggers. My aunt got rheumatoid arthritis, 15 years ago, after a bad flu.

Dr. Montoya at Stanford Medical Center is studying diseases related to CFS as post viral syndromes. He's trying to find and treat the cause, not just the symptoms. I have a consult at his clinic late next month. So I'm wondering, who else got FMS after a bad virus??

I think fibro is caused by Epstein Barr virus which often presents as mono after a dormancy phase. I'm sure that many people had viral infections without realizing it. Look into Medical Medium by Anthony William. It's all about EBV as the cause to many mystery illnesses

I had strep throat and then right after, I had chest pains. Went to the ER where they found two 99% blockages in two major arteries that required stents. My PCP thinks that I what caused my fibro. She said trauma to the body is what she thinks is a factor in fibro.
