I wonder.... could these Fibro people have been misdiagnosed, with Fibro, and really be PNers? Rather than SNF being Fibro?

This paper discusses nerve root involvement in patients diagnosed with Fibro. It also discusses "triggers", and toxic neuropathies are listed.

Check the last sentence in the study (I can't seem to copy/paste it)!
"The tests support our theory that the cause of Fibromyalgia is pathology in the peripheral nerve roots."

And this is interesting...the discovery of "hidden" or undiscovered nerve endings in the skin that were not previously known:

And this is a list of discoveries linking several physiological states to Fibro:

Including elevated levels of substance P in the CNS and elevated activity of NMDA receptors. (perhaps this is why magnesium works for Fibro patients? )

And this link-- Fibro and the eyes... dry eyes, pain, and light intolerance!
