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

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. 👍

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?

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!

I keep reading different and hearing different answers...is Fibromyalgia an inflamation issue? Does it cause it? Is it a result of it?

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. 🤔💐❤️

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.

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.

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?

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.
