1692515 tn?1306270048 t think doctors really know all of the causes for Fibromyalgia. Anything is possible. Very likely, as with me, you have had vitamin D deficiency, too. That was one of the reasons I was finally diagnosed myself. Since I know vitamin D deficiency has been noted as a root cause for why some people get Parkinsons, then I know vitamin D is important for neurological function. Also, be sure to have your vitamin B 12 tested.
Avatar f tn Absolutely yes! Fibromyalgia can be caused by physical trauma and/or emotional trauma... Also, my Rheumatologist explained to me that Fibromyalgia often times, more times than not... is an underlining condition of another medical condition such as Rheumatoid Arthritis and other auto-immune disease(s).
Avatar n tn I believe a variety of things can trigger fibromyalgia and it is different for everyone. Usually an infection, emotional stress and/or a physical injury are factors.
Avatar m tn Any physical or emotional trauma can cause a flare up of fibromyalgia symptoms. It is best to seek a second opinion and have a discussion on the possible alternatives, especially conservative treatments if possible. In fibromyalgia medicines should always be used along with exercise and behavior therapy. Consult an experienced doctor. I sincerely hope it helps. Best wishes and regards!
Avatar f tn possible triggers for fibromyalgia includes physical or emotional trauma, an abnormal pain response, sleep disturbances with some of these clinical features like chronic neck or back pain, chronic fatigue syndrome and depression. Other possible co morbidities are hypothyroidism, Lyme disease and sleep disorders.

Avatar n tn The cause of fibromyalgia is often hereditary or due to a physical or emotional trauma or due to lingering infection in the body such as due to mono. The treatment is a mix and match of analgesics, anti depressants, anti seizure medications, physical therapy and counseling.
Avatar m tn One theory about Fibromyalgia, is that it can be caused by physical and emotional trauma to the body, which creates an over sensitization of pain by the central nervous system, which is part of your brain's regulatory system. It's unlikely that even if you're fiance is cured from the virus that her body will "forget" the pain and remember how to feel normal again. She will need help.
Avatar f tn Fibromyalgia can be caused by trauma, stress, an illness, PTSD, or fever. And yes, it can run in families. Fibromyalgia should be suspected by the pcp when the pt has widespread pain for more than 3 months. There are trigger/tender points in the same places on both sides of the body. Wrists, ankles, neck, shoulders, elbows, buttocks, knees are the most common. Also migraine headaches and stomach issues such as IBS. Muscle spasms are also common.

Avatar m tn Although I had Fibromyalgia before a major surgery, since March 2008 when I had the Gastric Bypass my Fibromyalgia pain has increased by 50%. After losing 130 pounds doctor's finally began to listen to me when I complained about having pain and it wasn't all about the "weight" anymore. Although I am not a doctor studies suggest that since surgery of any kind is traumatic, it can instigate or "trigger" fibromyalgia to begin to manifest.

4437575 tn?1354575286 Does anyone know if that has to do with my fibromyalgia? Or does anyone else have it? It started yesterday and it causes so much pain. It started in my knee and went down to my ankle and up to my hip and lower back. (right side) It was burning and stabbing and shooting pains. Now today it started doing it in my elbow (right side) to my fingers and to my shoulder. Burning and stabbing and shooting pains again. SideNote: I'm 19 and I've had fibro since I was 15.

Very dry skin and disorders of thyroid gland all can precipitate a crawling sensation. The other possibility is Morgellons disease often mimics scabies.
Avatar f tn I believe FM to be a trauma-based syndrome and as such would have to go through some sort of emotional, mental, or physical event that would trigger FM symptoms to come on. Hope this helps!!
1194973 tn?1385503904 ) Ask the rhemotologist about the 18 TPRs. Diagnosis of fibromyalgia is made if 11 of these 18 points causes pain (and boy do they-come off the table). Areas throughout the body may feel "bruised" when touched. The tender point is considered to be positive if an approximate force of 4 kg of pressure causes pain when applied to the specific points.
2010625 tn?1329372056 I was just wondering what causes Fibromyalgia? Can Anxiety, Depression/Bipolar, IBS, or Genital Herpes cause it?
Avatar m tn I saw where Dr Handsfield mentioned in another forum that vaginal blisters/sores might be from "trauma". I developed these after a particularly rough sex event with a new (and now GONE) partner. I went to the dr and he took one look at me and said this is not herpes but swabbed the area for tests anyway, that I am still waiting for results on. His exact words were "this is trauma and injury".
