After reviewing hundreds of medical journal pages this is the conclusion
all the latest researchers have come to about fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue
as well as comorbid conditions like IBS, pelvic pain and anxiety. This was just
published in the prestigious Journal of Clinical Rheumatology.
Virtually all the fibro researchers in other countries are reaching the
same conclusion. At some point the CNS was overused and it locked into these
pathologic modes through neuroplasticity. If you experienced stress early in
life they now know that the nervous system is permanently changed and makes one
more prone to these conditions. Second that fibro people do not have the genetic
ability to accommodate higher stress levels due to abnormal chemical degradation
in the stress response systems.
This makes it clear that the nervous system balance is causal and that only
methods and treatments to restore balance will help us recover. Unfortunately
many current treatments provided by doctors without this knowledge can actually
further deregulate the nervous system branches. Medications that work on the
central nervous system like pain medications, tranquilizers and antidepressants
as well as neuroleptics can prevent normalization through a process called
neuro-anesthesia.
