It causes widespread pain, fatigue, cognitive dysfunction (often called “fibro fog“), and sleep disturbances.

Introduction: A New Perspective on Fibromyalgia Treatment Fibromyalgia is often associated with chronic pain, fatigue, and cognitive difficulties, but recent insights suggest that ligamentous joint instability (LJI) may play a crucial role in the condition. Many fibromyalgia patients experience loose, hypermobile, or unstable joints, leading to increased pain, frequent injuries, and musculoskeletal dysfunction. Traditional fibromyalgia treatments focus on nervous system regulation and pain management, but ignoring joint instability and connective…

by Dr Alex Robber Introduction: Unraveling the Mystery of Fibromyalgia Pain For years, fibromyalgia has been classified as a neurological disorder that amplifies pain signals. However, new research suggests that the pain may originate not just in the nervous system but in the connective tissue just under the skin—known as fascia. Fascia, a web-like network of connective tissue, wraps around muscles, nerves, and organs. When it becomes tight, inflamed,…

Introduction: The Harsh Reality of Fibromyalgia and Chronic Nerve Pain Fibromyalgia is a mystifying and often misunderstood condition that affects millions of people worldwide.
