Dr. Furlan answers a question about what are the predisposing and precipitating factors for nociplastic pain (fibromyalgia). In this video she explains that adverse childhood adversities (ACEs) are important risk factors to develop health issues, including chronic pain and fibromyalgia. She also discusses some strategies to mitigate the negative effects of ACEs in children, so they do not become adults with chronic pain.

I totally believe my childhood trauma and adult stress caused my fibromyalgia. Those stressors were a huge factor, then add a health issue from early on not being able to digest cane sugar, the final was a pulled ligament in my lower back damaged ( I am hyper Mobil so I never healed wells). I totally agree chromic stress caused my fibromyalgia.

[@sheilarandall1329]

Me too I wholeheartedly agree with you

[@serenaslattery3631]

Thank-you for this video. It explains what I have been researching for years due to Fibromyalgia and PTSD, OCD, anxiety and depression. I had parents die in my childhood, mother to a horrific suicide and had to be raised by extended family who didn't want me, very bitter and political. It all caused health problems from bullying and sexual abuse within the home, school, bullying, never fitting in anywhere, relationship issues, self sabotage.

[@majbrittcastrupjrgensen2874]

I have had a very traumatic childhood, mother was an alcoholic, my father, who I actually was very close to, worked all the time, he had to. Parents got divorced when I was 23 years old, raised my three younger sisters, one of them died in my arms 9 years ago, 47 years old. My father died in my arms, too and I held my mother, when she died, which overthread my boundries, but I couldn’t help it! I worked together with my father for 17 years as a carpainter, 15 hours a day, which was a very, very hard job for a woman. When he passed, 15 years ago, my life was in ruins, totally devastated. He was the man of my life. I miss him, his laughter, every single day. I got diagnosed with fibromyalgia at 32 years, I am now 61. I think in my case it is a combination of hard work and my childhood.

I was 47 and had a brilliant but stressful career, together w personal challenges that precipitated this condition. This episode converted to Fibromyalgia.

Developmental trauma may not be as apparent or extreme, but can a very major impact on the child and then the adult. It certainly can leave one predisposed to fibromyalgia and other chronic conditions.

Dr. Furlan, after watching a couple of your videos I've encouraged myself to write this post. I'm a 57years old male from New Delhi. I was diagnosed with Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder with symptoms of SLE and SS in 2010. I was given Endoxan (Cytoxan) and Cilamin (Cupramin) for a little over 1year. To keep this conversation short, since August 2023 I'm suffering from terrible pain in my both legs - between the knees and hips, including them as well, to be precise. I was very active and was on toes for the entire day, suddenly when this pain literally has crippled me. As of now I mostly stay in bed and use a walker to go to the bathroom, never left the house since August this year. I did have pain in the past, but it vanished on it's own without taking any special medicines. Now it seems this pain is going stay here forever. All pain killers are ineffective. I want to know is, should I increase my mobility despite the pain? I need to be back on tracks, already I've missed a lot. Thank you, Chanchal Pal.

Thank you for these videos. Helping a lot. Wondering about shyness and if there is a root cause and/or if/how would it be related to fibromyalgia. As a child and up until my early 30's I was extremely shy- debilitating at times. Now as an adult, learning about my fibromyalgia and myofascial pain syndrome, and stress/anxiety... wondering how or if the social anxiety/shyness I had as a child is where my journey with fibro began. I also had "growing pains" and sore bones and joints (likely not actually bones or joints now I know more) as a kid. I was actually given a psych evaluation around 11 as the Dr.s thought I was making stuff up. After watching your video on myofascial pain syndrome and fibro and why people get it... light bulbs are going off everywhere for me. Curiouser and curiouser :)

[@DrAndreaFurlan]

[@lindacarmelle8333]

This video gets me thinking ,retracing events of life some as I recall and others as my parents convey to me ....when I was 3 or 4 I was diagnosed with petite mal seizures. It lasted til age 11,then by age 12 with no seizures for a year my neurologist said I was free of epilepsy. I was on Gabapentin ,it was the last medicine I took before the seizures disappeared. Soon after I developed scoliosis, not related to Gabapentin because others in my family had the condition. Mine was mild ,I did not receive treatment when it was found. I did have aches and pains, stabbing ,burning sensations in my shoulder,chest pains when at rest...no heart issues all muscle pains, .Eventually leading to back pain. I had many "growing pains" as a child and into my teens and 20's. Always thought that was normal part of life. My grandparents and my mom said she experienced the same...they did not have epilepsy, others in the family did like cousins. So I think its true, to some extent these conditions are familial . However; I wonder if the Epilepsy was the start of the pain cycle in my life? and maybe what caused me to be predisposed to other things? Just connecting the dots would help.Now I have CRPS after a surgery which was needed after breaking my foot. And a 2nd surgery in the same foot due to the nickel allergy caused an allergic reaction and the beginning of a rejection of the hardware in my feet. I question now in hindsight if I really should have agreed to the surgery. Could epilepsy as a child be the reason for the CRPS today? Are there studies open looking for participants for research? This video prompted more questions for me and topics I need to research. Thanks for providing the insight !

[@lindacarmelle8333]

Just another realization, I believe that is why when Gabapentin was offered as an option for treatment of pain that I decided to try to use that medicine , I do not want to switch ,even though I have side effects from it ,I still believe its the best choice with the least side effects .Currently my dose is 400mg 3x daily.But a side effect is not sleeping because of that medicine. How common a side effect is lack of sleep with Gabapentin because the bottle says it will make you drowsy and I don't get that way and I wonder why?

[@DrAndreaFurlan]

Hi Linda, I have never heard that epilepsy is linked to fibromyalgia. And I do a lot of research and read hundreds of studies in this area.

[@lindacarmelle8333]

@@DrAndreaFurlan Thank you that makes me feel better....I thought having epilepsy as a child may have made me prone to CRPS later in life. It is just a coincidence that I had the same medication twice in life for different conditions, since my body handled Gabapentin as a child I felt better choosing it from the ones my ortho offered for relief of CRPSnow as an adult.

[@carolferguson19]

I have the worst case of Fibromyalgia in the world. I saw Dr. Robert Bennett at Oregon Health and Sciences University in Portland, Oregon for 11 years until he retired. I have him on tape with Maria Shriver. I set up the interview on TV. The first half hour is explaining what causes fibromyalgia and the second half is showing a surgeon getting brain surgery for fibromyalgia. It's very risky and he didn't want to live if he couldn't do surgery. It is extra bone in the neck that does not bother most people. However if there is a fall, a blow or something traumatic happens it can cause it. The bone presses on the brain stem and spinal cord. I have had Fibromyalgia for 35 years.

[@carolweaver3269]

This struck me so funny as many, many years ago I read about a physician who did surgery and helped so many with Fibromyalgia and so I called this number * do not have it now* and this woman answered * thought it to ba secretary?* and she told me how the Dr does surgery on the back of the neck and into the brain. I thought she was crazy. I listened to it all but decided against it. NowIsaw this printed out and could not help but just think how it must be similar or connected in some way to the person I spoke to and that was not so fraud s I thought? lol Am glad you posted as thought I had the wrong number.

Its all guesswork really. I've had anxiety/depression/pain/tiredness all my life. The first significant episode I was 5 years old. I was diagnosed as an adult. Speaking with my mother as an adult she had the same symptoms as long as she can remember, she was diagnosed in her 50's about 40 years ago. Is there a genetic predisposition? As for diet, I was brought up in the time of proper meals there certainly not much sugar and pre prepared food around, yes we got occasional treats and home baking. What do I think? A predisposition, and an overload of stress. And need to be honest with patients and tell them this can't be cured but treated - my mind broke

Thank you for sharing.

Ronya, I agree with you. I developed fibromyalgia syndrome after having the MMR vaccine after having my daughter at the age of 26. My symptoms didn't come to full fruition until I was 33 years old. This has nothing to do with childhood traumas, it's to do with all the vaccines given to children. Xxxx

This is not true! I had none of what she is saying! She is just another dr. Who blames on a bad childhood! I had a accident! And from that came this very painful disease

She did say that for some people a physical trauma as an adult can lead to fibro.

Pourquoi la traduction en arabe?

What do you mean?

Unfortunately, it seems, that Andrea has never suffered from it !

[@DrAndreaFurlan]

Hi Andrew, this is a very disturbing comment, and you offended me. Since when does a doctor need to have a disease to be an expert in it? I studied 30 years and have seen thousands of people with chronic pain. I have more than 37 million views on this channel and many comments confirming that I have helped people.

Well said

[@DrAndreaFurlan]

@chrisoldfield5204 I have treated hundreds of people with fibromyalgia. A doctor does not need to have a disease to know about the disease. We do need to hear and emphatic, but it is not the same thing as having the disease.

I am not sure if you’re expanding on your comment to Andrew or responding to me - when I put « well said « I was referring to your initial response to him not his comment - sorry for the confusion.
