The pieces of the puzzle are fitting together, big-time! It’s a litle long, but a valuable read that explains when and how FM and CFS is triggered, (Trauma), how the sympathetic nervous system gets ramped up and put on hyperdrive, which then sets up TMS in adulthood.
Here’s some excerpts I thought were particularly interesting:
“FM can be viewed as a failed attempt of our main complex adaptive system to accommodate to a hostile environment. A disease in which distress is transformed into pain through sympathetic system rigidity. “
“1)FM is a stimulus-independent pain state. There is no structural damage that could explain the pain intensity.”
“Physical or emotional trauma may act as triggering events. Different types of infections may also set off the disease. Such stressors are confronted by the main element of the stress response system, the sympathetic nervous system. Resulting chronic sympathetic hyperactivity leads to aberrant dorsal root ganglia neuroplasticity, establishing abnormal connections between the sympathetic nervous system and the nociceptive system. “
It’s a fascinating read.
