My understanding is the Fibro is a central pain disorder.
It runs genetically in families (newest research)
It is triggered by a peripheral event... PN, arthritis, trauma (there are studies about car accidents),
surgery, war (there are studies on effects of war), vaccines, etc.
I went to a seminar about this 2 yrs ago.
That researcher claims that Fibro is experienced in the brain.
It is like having the volume turned up on a radio all the time that cannot be tuned down.
At that seminar Dr. Clauw said up to 8 times more cases are found within families. So he says the prevailing thought now that some people are susceptible to pain, and ratchet it up in the brain.
If you search Dr. Clauw on Google you will find him on some fibro sites, with interviews etc. He is very generous with his time and a great educator besides.
