I'd like to jump in here and share with you what I learned from
a special medical CE I went to. I have details about that CE in the stickies:

Fibro can be triggered by various pain disorders. It occurs mostly in people, who have a genetic tendency to develop it.
It is a central pain disorder, for the most part, in the brain.

Neuropathies are a trigger for fibro therefore in patients who are prone to this. (also various traumas, vaccines and other things).

Dr. Clauw is a major researcher in this area, and if you Google him, you'll see many interviews. I saw him in person, and really, he was very very good. Fabulous in fact. Most of the Fibro sites have interviews with him.

Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder. But many doctors still do not understand it or realize what it is.

Please read my post here, since it is taken from the syllabus from that lecture by Dr. Clauw.
