Dizziness, Balance and Falls During Fibromyalgia Flares

admin

By Adrienne Dellwo In fibromyalgia, dizziness, poor balance, and falls are common complaints. For some people, they’re a minor annoyance that crops up on occasion. In others, they can be severely debilitating and lead to regular injuries. Falling, and especially falling frequently, is a serious problem. The last thing you need when you’re already in constant pain is to hurt yourself all the time. Frequent falls or balance problems can also lead to a fear of falling. That fear can, in turn, make you afraid to remain active, even within your limits.…

EpicGenetics and Massachusetts General Hospital to Launch Fibromyalgia Clinical Trial

admin

EpicGenetics and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) are launching a Phase II clinical trial to test a tuberculosis vaccine, BCG, as a potential treatment for fibromyalgia. Bruce Gillis, chief executive officer of EpicGenetics Fibromyalgia is a condition marked by widespread pain and sensitivity to touch.

For physicians who believed in the disorder, diagnosing it was largely a…

The Mitochondria Pt. 3: Could They be Causing the Pain in Fibromyalgia?

admin

The mitochondria have been featured more in and more post-infectious disease research. Health Rising’s first two overviews of recent mitochondrial findings featured long COVID and chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). Now we turn to fibromyalgia. Dysfunctional mitochondria can cause pain as well. The GIST Because we associate the mitochondria with extreme fatigue, exercise intolerance, and post-exertional malaise, we think of ME/CFS as the mitochondrial disease, not FM. The mitochondria do more than generate energy, though. Damaged mitochondria can also produce pain. Most people with heritable mitochondrial diseases suffer from chronic pain.…

Early Life Adversity as a Risk Factor for Fibromyalgia in Later Life

admin

Lucie A. Low1and Petra Schweinhardt1Show more Academic Editor: Charles Vierck Abstract The impact of early life events is increasingly becoming apparent, as studies investigate how early childhood can shape long-term physiology and behaviour. Fibromyalgia (FM), which is characterised by increased pain sensitivity and a number of affective co-morbidities, has an unclear etiology. This paper discusses risk factors from early life that may increase the occurrence or severity of FM in later life: pain experience during neonatal life causes long-lasting changes in nociceptive circuitry and increases pain sensitivity in the older organism; premature…
