Many physicians thought that fibromyalgia disease was ‘’imaginary’’ or ‘’physiological’’. The enigma of fibromyalgia has left millions of sufferers searching for rosiness in pain medications. Researchers were trying to find the main source of fibromyalgia and they found that it does not stem from the brain. At last, doctors found the mystery that this disease is conjured in the patient’s imaginations. But scientists have now revealed the main source of fibromyalgia; that is the pain stems in the excess blood vessels of the hand, the most unlikely place.

A nerve fiber, called arteriole-venule (AV shunts) in extremely very high amount was found in the skin samples of the hand of fibromyalgia patients and it was found via the skin sample from the hand of a patient whose skin was zeroed in, and it was found that this patient had a lack of the sensory nerve fibers causing a reduced reaction to pain. This discovery led to new treatments and perhaps even a total cure in the future, bringing relief to as many as 5 million Americans thought to have the disease.

Scientists have discovered that there is a direct relation between these nerves and the widespread body pains that fibromyalgia patients feel. Before this discovery, scientists thought that these fibers were only responsible for regulating blood flow and did not play any role in the pain tingle.

Along with widespread deep tissue pain, fibromyalgia patients also suffer from debilitating fatigue. The lingering question that why many sufferers have extreme levels of pain in the hand and as well as in the tender point all over the body and why cold weather seems to aggravate the symptoms.

Previously it was thought that these nerve endings were only involved in regulating blood flow at a subconscious level but now we had evidence that these blood vessel endings could also contribute to our conscious sense of touch and pain.

The mismanagement of blood flow could be the source of muscular pain and achiness. Fatigue was thought to be the result of a build-up of low levels of lactic acid. This all in turn could contribute to the hyperactivity in the brain.

All over the world, the patients suffering from fibromyalgia are rejoicing that the mystery of fibromyalgia has been finally solved and the announcement to unlock the better future treatments has potential in it.

Lets put this sticker on your car and spread the awareness. As many people out there don’t consider our illness as being disable, because they don’t know it.

Fibromyalgia Mystery Finally Solved!

Researchers have found the main source of pain in Fibromyalgia patients, and contrary to what many believe, it does not stem from the brain. The findings mark the end of a decades-old mystery about the disease, which many doctors believed was conjured in patients’ imaginations. The mystery of Fibromyalgia has left millions of sufferers searching for hope in pain medications. Up until recently, many physicians thought that the disease was “imaginary” or psychological, but scientists have now revealed that the main source of pain stems from a most unlikely place- excess blood vessels in the hand.

The discovery may lead to new treatments and perhaps even a total cure in the future, bringing relief to as many as 5 million Americans thought to have the disease. To solve the Fibromyalgia mystery, researchers zeroed in on the skin from the hand of one patient who had a lack of the sensory nerve fibers, causing a reduced reaction to pain. They then took skin samples from the hands of Fibromyalgia patients and were surprised to find an extremely excessive amount of a particular type of nerve fiber called arteriole-venule (AV) shunts.

Solving The “Mystery” Of Fibromyalgia

The term fibromyalgia sometimes brings about feelings of confusion. Often referred to as the “mystery” disease – fibromyalgia is unfortunately widely misunderstood by many of us – leading those who suffer to feel confused and maybe unsure of where to turn.

While it’s true that we know less about fibromyalgia than some other diseases, there have been many thorough studies that have finally shed some light on our “mysterious” pain. Most agree that the pain of fibromyalgia stems from a disordered nervous system. In other words, the entire nervous system is functioning improperly, causing randomly moving pain throughout the body.

All pain involves your nerves. However, with fibromyalgia, nerves send excess pain messages back to your brain, making typically mild painful sensations feel much worse. The brain then responds in excess, putting the body into a sort of hyperdrive.

While there are still many unknowns about fibromyalgia, it is more important to focus on what we do know. Research is continually developing, and there are new insights into this “mystery” disease every year. A diagnosis of fibromyalgia may mean challenges ahead – but here at The Fibro Clinic, we know there are tested measures you can take to help make for a fulfilled and meaningful life.
