Fibro may be triggered by several things. Studies show,
arthritis
vaccines
trauma (car accidents)
infections
The current thinking is that Fibro is inherited (8 times more frequent in relatives) and is triggered by a painful or inflammatory event, which then results in amplification of sensory pain data being perceived by the brain as severe pain.
Whatever mechanism (not discovered yet) that screens out most minor sensations, doesn't work and all sensations get lumped into high gear.
The Doctor I saw at a conference says it is like having a radio turned up full volume when not necessary.
