Fibromyalgia is the second most common rheumatic disorder behind osteoarthritis and, though still widely misunderstood, is now considered to be a lifelong central nervous system disorder, which is responsible for amplified pain that shoots through the body in those who suffer from it.

This is all based on one press release by one doctor. I was only able to find 2 small studies in Canada 2 and 7 years ago. I’ve heard about more in Japan and the US and people post all the time that they can’t find a doctor who believes in this. Reality is that there is no sound science to back up this statement and over half of doctors don’t believe in it.
