Physical trauma or psychological trauma can predispose people to fibro. I have developed multiple other conditions since being diagnosed about 20 yrs ago.

Sorry forgot the link...
But I found another one I like better. https://safetyinhealth.biomedcentral.com/articl....

This one is long but very interesting about injury, therapies and the fascia component.

Go to this website and read the information. There are 42 footnotes... so enjoy your research. Let me know if there are more details I can help you find.

Sure, I'll find some for you... Also, there is a study happening now to see the relation of the upper cervical and occiput injury (whiplash type injury) has on the onset of FMS symptoms. Once that kind of injury occurs in certain people, it is like a light switch was turned on... and you can't turn it off completely.

There are several schools of thought on this matter. Based on my research, Fibromyalgia is a Nervous System dysfunction. Other factors go into why so many other diseases can occur also. Many times it is due to the fascial system becoming to tight and dehydrated. This is the lining that covers all internal organs,muscles, and tendons. Studies have shown that when you can re-hydrate this material manner symptoms reverse and are no longer a bother. However, I have not found evidence that the Fibromyalgia overactive nervous system regulator gets reset to 'normal'.

Is that clear as mud to you? Basically, the body works as a whole unit and not individual sections. What affects one area has an affect all other areas.
