I found a question and answer on Google that just doesn't make sense to me. First I read that it may be different in different people,, meaning (?} that it could be autoimmune. Then it says Fibro is not autoimmune, which I thought it is. So, here's Google's answer.
Is fibromyalgia autoimmune or neurological?
They may be different in different people. Current research suggests involvement of the nervous system, particularly the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). Fibromyalgia is… read more
From what I understand it is not autoimmune. It is neurological and muscular. But, I am no expert.
Hello, fellow Fibro fighters! 😊 I'm new here, and have two pretty basic questions. It seems like every source/site says something different, so once & for all...
1) Is Fibromyalgia considered to be an *autoimmune* disease?
2) Is fibro considered to be an *inflammatory* condition?
Regarding # 2, if yes, why don't NSAID's work on our pain?
I'm not newly diagnosed, but I find our disorder to be VERY complex, and confusing. I don't understand it at all! Help! Lol. Thanks. 👍

Fibro, is chronic fatigue that can give you many different symptoms. It varies from person to person. It can cause so many symptoms and depression and stress will make it worse.
I just had my husband notice that my neck twitched and my hands do it too, like a jerking motion. Is this a symptom of fibro or maybe something else?
I don't get the twitches, but I get very painful spasms/cramping that last @ 20-30 seconds. They are so painful that it takes my breath away. The only thing I can do when I'm having one is just try to… read more
So aside from having annoying twitches all over my body over this past week I’m starting to feel like jitttery when my body is still. It’s hard to describe but it feels like when you get the chills but your body doesn’t move. It’s almost as if I’m trembling but can’t physically see it. I’m going crazy over here! Anyone else experience this? My muscles also feel weak, tense, and overworked. Sometimes when I extend my legs and arms they shake.I’m taking magnesium and vit d but no improvements… read more
Hi i have had fybro for around 13 years and have experienced the trembly feeling as if my insides are vibrating or like as if I have had a shock. I think this is from adrenaline imbalance, like a mild… read more
I keep reading different and hearing different answers...is Fibromyalgia an inflamation issue? Does it cause it? Is it a result of it?
I constant battle inflammation with my sinuses, bladder and colon. It would make sense that since our body is constantly on overload that we would have inflamation.
For the past couple of of years I have been experiencing jerking sensation. It normally happens when I settle down to sleep😴it happens in various parts of my body such as my legs arms ur even the hole of my body.
It's happen twice on separate occasions in my legs were I have been standing still and my leg as shaken uncontrollably.
Just wondering if this is a new fybromayalgia experience. 🤔💐❤️
I have this happen mist night didn't know it was down to fybro
There are new studies out now that they have cornered antibodies related to Fibro and are now almost coming to confirm that Fibro is actually an Autoimmune issue.
Mark Neubeck, I have wondered the same thing over the years. I've read/heard many things and considered them all in regards to my own past. Excessive/long term stress is one that rings true for me… read more
Hi everyone. I’ve ended up here in my 4 month search to try and find out what is wrong with me. I would greatly appreciate your advice! Doctors have tried to palm it off as anxiety and make me feel like a hypochondriac but there’s something wrong and I can’t figure out what it is. They want me to try 10mg amytriptiline but I don’t know if that’s a good idea.
MY SYMPTOMS
🤢 Severe nausea that lasts around 2 weeks. No vomiting. I can barely eat as feel too sick and I’m very weak.
👤 Ache in the… read more
Nausea can be caused be liver malfunctions such as gallstones or pancreas problems.
Does anyone have tips for diet changes? I’ve heard things like cutting dairy, gluten, processed foods, etc. I was wondering if anyone has tried anything and if it has worked for you?
There is a few books out there on this very subject. After reading a few and trying to adhere to what was suggested
I decided that what works. For one person doesn't necessarily work for another.… read more
It's the title of a book by Dr. Wahl who heals autoimmune diseases like MS and FM with diet, supplements, and alternative natural treatments.
I was just to a fibro dr....she said that doing some diets are not proven to help. The cost of changing,out weights the benefits only if you are maybe glucose intolerant. I know that sugar makes… read more
