I attended a live all day seminar on chronic pain a few years ago that had a portion on Fibro.
At this presentation Dr.Clauw, at the University of Mich, was featured.
At that time he shared research that Fibro was most likely a CNS disorder where pain signals are inflated by the brain and spinal cord.
He gave stats of trauma (car accidents, war) and other pain states that trigger Fibro in people who have a family history of it. (Rheumatoid arthritis, neuropathy, RSD, were some of the conditions that can trigger fibro). He found in his research that fibro occurs in families, but at various historical times this was diagnosed with other names.
Dr. Clauw is a very good resource to listen to and read:
Chronic Pain - Is it All in Their Head? - Daniel J. Clauw M.D. - YouTube
He is on the net at various sites giving interviews that include fibromyagia information. I think you might find him helpful.
