So guess what , we will never fix it ! It’s with you forever , docs use the term loosely bc they don’t even know what it means anymore and are Dx anyone that remotely exhibits and on top of that you can not get disability if your doctor has not identified the 11 trigger points in your body to fully validate to get disability when the doctor won’t call you back or even see you!!

Hi Dageide, your theory is not based on sound scientific evidence. Maybe it is based on facebook science.

[@politereminder6284]

Nonsense 🙄. Its definitely in the cells. Its not just in your pain system (not just in your head)

[@DrAndreaFurlan]

Hi Polite reminder, yes, you are right. It is in the cells. It is a biological mechanism. But the abnormality is in the neurons. There are many abnormal synapses. This is called neuroplasticity. This is a well known phenomenon in medicine, especially in rehabilitation medicine. I am a doctor specialized in rehabilitation. I help people who had injuries and lesions to their nerve system, like stroke, amputations, multiple sclerosis, and we always use neuroplasticity to recover function that was lost.

[@politereminder6284]

@@DrAndreaFurlan fibromyalgia is not an injury. You can't treat fibro symptoms as if it was neurological. Is there any study that has proven this, or is this just hypothosizing and theorizing based on what you know about injuries? How do you explain the non pain symptoms is fibro? The digestive issues, eye irritations, sensitivity to allergens, strange smells, metallic tastes, IBS, urinary symptoms, orthostatic intolerance, sweating, dysautonomia? Are all of these nerve /neuron related? Is the urinary system struggling due 2o neuroplasticity? 🤔 It's okay to say you don't really know the cause of fibromyalgia, even if you are a medical professional, but it is annoying when you make things up and double down.

[@DrAndreaFurlan]

I’m not making this up. I am just teaching what hundreds of serious scientists around the world have published. Just search for “nociplastic pain”. This is the mechanism of pain in fibromyalgia. If someone says they don’t know what causes fibromyalgia it is because they didn’t learn about nociplastic pain. Actually this is still not taught in many medical schools. Fortunately at the best medical schools in the world, this is now being taught. Like the University of Toronto, Stanford and Harvard.

[@politereminder6284]

@@DrAndreaFurlan Its an interesting theory. 🤔A kind of offensive theory to us sufferers🤷‍♀️. I wish you success and happiness in your practice. I just find that the idea of nociplastic pain doesn't explain a root cause of fibro, as there are too many non pain symptoms. Perhaps it is an accompanying feature, but not a central causal one. Blessings. 🙌

It is not a theory. It is science. People who don’t know science will end up believing anything else, even false theories.

I have been told i have fibro for years before this they said it was ibs. I also have low thyroid but find it difficult to take the tablets as gives me nerve pain in my head.Anyway i am always stiff and in a lt of pain around my back and pelvic area but i also have adhesions on my bowel and fibroids, so i put this down to this. Anyway the last few weeks i was having a flare with pain in this area but not sure if it was fibro or fibroids. It got so bad i ended up in A and E. It was the worst pain i have ever had in my life. I wanted to kill myself. The only thing that too ot away was morphine. So i thought is this hip arthritis. After 16 thet sent me home. I am still in a lot of pain. But not as bad. The oain was my back was like it was on fire. My whole pelvic area. Right down my legs. But i can also feel it in my feet now. So i am beginning to think that it possible was the worse fibro flare i have every hsd. The strange thing is that I had server pain about a month ago that tirned out to be gallstones so i had stopped drinking and cut out most processed food. I have been meditating and eatting the best i ever have. I just am at the end if my rope with it. Please help.

[@samapples6722]

Would marijuana help

[@DragonSlayerRob]

Many cases are related to upper cervical instability (in my case one of my root causes was breaking my collar bone in childhood) which can lead to your C1 being out of axis and interfering with nerve and blood flow (disrupting CBS and ANS signals) so the body throws up the alarm signal constantly and acutely. Upper cervical instability also leads nervous system malfunction throughout the body including with the vagus nerve with regulates flight and flight so long story short this is where trauma, anxiety, and depression play a role in the disorder.

[@5ofusalways]

@saminjoon3409 I certainly hope your comment was a joke. If not you need to be very careful about the words you speak pertaining to fibro.

[@jennyhorner]

But I’ve read recent research which shows the periphery nervous system is indeed altered in fibromyalgia 🤷🏻‍♀️ eg Impaired small fiber function that leads to increased temperature sensitivity; Sensory irregularities in the feet, face, and hands; Lower total nerve fibers and fewer regenerating nerve fibers in the skin;​ Fewer unmyelinated nerve fiber bundles in the skin, but normal levels of myelinated nerve fibers. Also other research that it’s to do with antibodies.

[@kellycasperhanson4426]

You may need to update your info about the cause of fibromyalgia just a bit. Recent studies have demonstrated that intramuscular pressure was elevated in fibromyalgia sufferers. Dr. Ginerva Liptan stated during a 2023 webinar, that the levels in some participants were near that of patients with compartment syndrome😳. This is encouraging news because it's clear, measurable evidence that fibromyalgia is NOT "all in our heads," as many doctors claim. Your video is still very helpful towards understanding this confusing syndrome! Thank you!!!

I’m not sure if you’re a man or a woman but if you’re a man I’d say get your levels checked, low testosterone and high oestrogen make these conditions worse. Don’t go to a GP or an endocrinologist they’re mostly useless. Pay for private cover through a private clinic. If they tell you your levels should be this, it’s bs you start at a low dose and work your way up to the feel good dose and blood work on point. Cold plunge, hot plunge and sauna work wonders.

So I was diagnosed 15 years ago with it. All they did was give me pain meds. Which turned me into an addict. I now have 5 years clean. But I cannot get a doctor to listen to me at all. What do I do because I've reached my breaking point with the paint and the Charlie horses in my stomach or in my hands or in my back? When I try to wipe my butt like what do I do?

[@LindaBrady-Yev59]

Your the first person I've read a comment from that mentions the charlie horses in the stomach, I have those, it makes me feel like someone just reached into my guts and started squeezing as hard as they could. (Of course, I'm still not diagnosed, by the wonderful world of medicine.)

[@jefferadus8582]

Fibromyalgie is caused by SIBO SIFO or parasites

[@DrAndreaFurlan]

@jefferafus8582 👎🏻 I disagree with the parasites 🦠 explanation

[@eviemorgs]

She is right. The root cause is nervous system dysregulation from trauma, chronic stress & anxiety and suppressed emotions, the limbic system and nervous system control every other system in the body

[@RaidONE4theONE]

Please elaborate. How does it deliberately cause neuropathic dysfunction?

[@wasabi333]

Not really haha

[@Ama40401]

@@RaidONE4theONEall pain comes from the brain, when the brain feels over worked or over taxes by stress, emotions, trauma it can send pain any and everywhere in the body- muscular, tendon, nerve pain etc.. it’s called “mind body syndrome” check out the work of DR Sarno, and other tension-myositis doctors. Lots of good advice and success stories from people recovering from chronic pain.

Yes 😢

[@suzyashby8777]

Thank you ❤❤❤. I have it and I can’t stand it. Recently I just had thyroid issues. Hoping it will help. Im a diabetic type 2 with one kidney. It’s been a challenge. I’ve lost 30 pounds and still issues. Any ideas on over stimulation? I also have cochlear implants. And , that intensifies everything too. Thank you.

I have Fibromyalgia. It is based upon an imbalance between gaba and glutamate. My channel will be out soon, and I being a University Lecturer and researcher will explain properly and finally help people. drs no nothing.

[@Ida-Adriana]

Oh this sounds intriguing! Is it a deficiency of gaba or glutamate?

[@clarkdavison40]

I would be very interested in watching your channel about this topic when you get it up and running.

[@jlappin6277]

I would have to agree with you on your opinion.My experience started after I stopped taking a benzo that down regulates, Gabe receptors and causes an abundance of glutamate. We all know the dead drug is a central nervous system decompression and down regulate Gabe receptors.

Poor digestion I was told can cause Fibromyalgia .
