Fibromyalgia is a common condition, that lacks a gold standard treatment.\xa0 Studies have shown that medications are often minimally effective, and that simple interventions like exercise may be of more benefit.\xa0 Tremendous confusion surrounds the diagnosis of Fibromyalgia, for both doctors and patients.\n\nThe three major underlying "triggers" of fibromyalgia include stress, inflammation, and small fiber peripheral neuropathy.\xa0 In our clinical experience, as well as the literature, a significant percentage of fibromyalgia patients have been exposed to horrific circumstances, and the long lasting effects of this stress in the form of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) are important to not only recognize, but also to use as a tool in the aim of helping the Fibromyalgia patient improve.\n\nPlease enjoy and forward\xa0your comments to us here on our website or our Facebook page.\xa0 Thank you for listening!\n\nPTSD and its Role in Fibromyalgia
