What Causes This Disease?
Like mentioned earlier, the exact cause of this disease is not apparent. However, current medical research suggests that the fibromyalgia is a disease that causes a problem in the central pain processing part of the brain. The primary pain processing part of the brain experiences an increase in perception or sensitivity to pain. However, there are risk factors that are associated with the occurrence of the fibromyalgia disease.
- A traumatic, stressful emotional or physical event. For instance, a car accident. Such events may trigger the central pain processing center of the brain and cause an increase in pain sensitivity.
- Repetitive injuries can also cause Fibromyalgia
- Other autoimmune diseases. For instance, Lupus
- Problems with the central nervous system can also lead to fibromyalgia
- The process of your genes regulating and processing pain stimuli is also another consideration on whether a person suffers from fibromyalgia.
This disease is also hereditary. However, women have a higher risk of suffering from Fibromyalgia compared to men if any of their relatives suffer from the disease.
