Fibromyalgia research association
Common Questions and Answers about Fibromyalgia research association
fibromyalgia
ve read numerous books, I belong to the National Fibromyalgia Network, The Fibromyalgia Association, and follow the latest research on many aspects of FM. These include, medical and pharmaceutical research.
There is NO evidence that people with FM have brains that age faster. There is a neurological aspect to FM that can affect our brains. Our neurotransmitters may not be firing right to put it simply. Depression which is previlant in FM sufferers can cause memory lapse.

Be sure to keep checking for more information.... some of the research is posted on a research website for mostly medical professionals. It is the best way to stay informed and make sure that your physician is informed.
t believe there is any association with MVP and the other conditions. Many people who have fibromyalgia also may have chronic fatigue syndrome. For more details on the subject of interest I am providing a link. Thanks for your question.

There is no mention in any significant source about association of Benign Fasciculation Syndrome (BFS) and Fibromyalgia. There may be a possibility though, as some authorities claim a viral etiology (cause) for both these conditions. Hope you feel better soon!
stress, anxiety, fibromyalgia, phycological trauma
Rationale: after years of research I concluded that the causes described earlier may trigger two main types of conditions: depression OR chronic random pain.
is there a research group one could participate with, study and analyze past, present and future findidngs/options?
i have been outbreak free for years and am almost certain i recently had my first outbreak in january - and they won't stop.
i think the following has provoked the virus, as well as disable the latency stage:
a. i took a strong proton pump inhibitor in january for my gerd - within a week i had a broken tail bone and rash of blisters across the bottom of my back.
I have had Fibromyalgia & Chronic Fatigue Immunodysfunction for 20 years.
For me a 60 to 80 mg of Depo-Medrol (steroid) does help. (up to 2 times per year and only when I am REALLY bad.)
I've heard that Lyrica is very good for fibro. patients but I personally cannot take it as I get the bad side affects.
He also had me do a SLEEP STUDY 2 months ago. I have mild sleep apnea & now use a C-Pap at night which I love.
8 times more likely to report that they had the soft tissue syndrome, fibromyalgia. This association remained statistically significant after taking into account other factors including whether women thought their implants were ruptured, implant age, and implant manufacturer. Fibromyalgia is a syndrome characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbance.
Women with MRI-diagnosed extracapsular silicone gel were 2.
I found this new research by Dr. Catherine M.Pittman - one of the foremost brain researchers in the country, to be interesting.
We are finding through both animal and human research that the medication class of benzodiazepines may actually prevent learning, both neuronal and cognitive and may prevent long term anxiety recovery. Our work has shown that the neuronal process for learning and also the process for unlearning (called extinction) is slowed or prevented by this class of medications.
Fibromyalgia can last forever. There are treatments and even possible cures out there (research protocols). Fatigue, dizziness and so many other symptoms are common in fibro patients and in fact, 29% of fibro patients have a positive ANA titer.
I hope that you will consider joining us on MedHelp's fibro/CFS board. I'm the Community Leader there.
t a vaccination treatment 2 years or less before developing the condition. I am focussing on conducting a thorough research amongs all the sufferers. It is too often that just a sample population is included. I am closely related to too many peeople this happened to. They include close friends, family members and other community members. Due to the diversity I've encountered, it doesn't point out to genetics.
Woo hoo ! Its nice to see that you've been keeping up to date on that. This is something that is VERY important and I hope other CFS'ers here know about what Dr. Reeves, and the CDC for that matter, have done to us. One of the CDC's embarrassing scandals was published in the Washington Post. The CDC tried to make up for it by having their Public Awareness Campaign, but they are now up to their old tricks again. Dr. William Reeves should be fired.
Hi I am pretty for sure I have Fibromyalgia some of my symptoms include Soar and stiff muscles in my legs and I just have a Flu like feeling all the time and also the pressure points you have. I have those also. Does this sound like Fibromyalgia to you.
I have had several doctor friends (one a DO, an orthopidist and even the nuero I have seen) tell me that Fibromyalgia is not a diagnoses. Because there is no test that proves that that is what you have or even tells you what the cause is from. And that after that diagnoses is made other doctors will not treat pain as any thing other than that when it could be something, but they just tend not to look.
Why is it that insurance companies don't understand fibromyalgia? I paid in Short Term/Long Term disability insurance at work. But after a 10 month wait while they evaluated my condition, they refused to pay me stating that Fibromyalgia was not a disability. If they ever actually had Fibro maybe they would understand. I don't know where to go from here.
