FIBROMYALGIA (Fie-bro-my-al-gia) SYNDROME
Is a chronic- invisable illness.
It is not a musculoskeletal dysfunctional .
It is a disorder of the informational substances
such as neurotransmitters, hormones, peptides,
and other biochemical messengers ,
which regulate and runs the
systems of the body and mind.
It causes hypersensitivity to all sorts of stimuli,
so it can amplify pain.
There are no trigger points(TRPs) in FMS,
only tender points, which do not refer to pain.

'Disabled---You Don't Look Disabled'
For people with chronic pain ,
the spinal cord becomes overloaded with input,
leading it to be hypersensitive
to the messages sent it's way,
It in turn abornormally amplifies the response
so patients feel pain from contact
that should have no effect.
