Fibromyalgia Cause

Unfortunately, we do not yet know what causes fibromyalgia.


However, this isn't to suggest that nothing is known about what causes fibromyalgia. The problem, currently, is that there is no consensus among experts. For example:


  • Some believe that fibromyalgia follows a traumatic experience, one that is stressful and puts a strain on a person, physically or emotionally.

  • Some believe there is a connection between fibromyalgia and repetitive injuries.

  • Some believe it is linked with an illness. For instance, fibromyalgia is not uncommon among people already diagnosed and being treated for rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or other autoimmune diseases.

  • Some believe that abnormal levels of Substance P in spinal fluid play a part. Substance P is a nerve transmitter that helps send and amplify pain signals to and from the brain.

  • Some believe that fibromyalgia is not necessarily brought on by anything neither trauma, illness, or injury - it just simply develops.


Presumably, as more is uncovered about fibromyalgia, more will be learned about its underlying causes.
