“Fibromyalgia is a disorder associated with widespread pain throughout the body, and impacts mostly women.”

And there I thought there was no difference between men and women...

She needs to get another bad tattoo. That will make her feel better.

There is not a micro meter made that can measure how little I care.

The nerves of the body - beyond the brain and the spinal cord (central nervous system) are called the peripheal nervous sytem and it is composed of two separate systems of nerves and nerve lines - the somatic and the autonomic nervous systems.

The perception of pain comes from the sympathetic nervous sytem (part of the autonomic nervous system). While pain is normally associated with “damage” there are known pain syndromes that register pain in an area of the body where no damage is identified by any clinical means available.

Long ago medical science taught such pains were not real but merely imagined by those reporting them.

Detailed tests with electrodes have proven the pain signals are not phantom, but cannot and have not shown the cause in many pain syndromes.

I was once thought to have reflex sympathetic dystrophy (a pain syndrom that can show up after an injury and mysteriously continue long after all the injury and damage has been corrected). I studied the whole subject for a year.

As it turned out, more extensive MIR tests finally showed the phsyical cause in my case - a speck of spinal cord that is not and never will again be working spinal cord tissue.

However, such a finding is not what folks with fibromyalgia and other similar pain syndromes are finding. The pain is real, even though modern medicine does not understand fully why it is there.

There is a German outfit that is producing very positive results for some folks with some of these pain syndromes. While the relief has been reported to be great, the experience of the treatment is not. It involves a chemically induced & maintained coma, for many days. The process is said to induce a “reboot” of the nervous system, after which the patient no longer has the previous chronic pain that plagued them. The drawback is the side effects of the drugs that create the comna, and those side effects are the horrifying hallucinations that occur during the coma. One man described it as like hell and no way out.

Glad some final MIRs in my case showed any such treatment would never change my damaged spinal cord, and “fix” the pain issues.
