Dr Alex Robber Introduction Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, and a variety of other symptoms. One of the key factors influencing pain perception in fibromyalgia patients is pain catastrophizing, a cognitive-emotional process where individuals anticipate or exaggerate the pain they experience.

I have spent years (and much pain) in “trial and error” fibromyalgia research to develop the elements of the protocol I have presented here on my website. Fibro is such a complex syndrome that it is difficult for fibromyalgia research to make a “cause and effect” finding for each of the many symptoms. However, my co-condition of MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity)…
