Altered pain perception: the brain and central nervous system interpret stimuli in an exaggerated way.
Chemical imbalances: low levels of serotonin, dopamine, and other substances can play a role.
Genetic factors: higher risk if there is a family history of fibromyalgia or other chronic illnesses.
Post-traumatic or emotional stress: accidents, losses, abuse, or prolonged stress can trigger it.
Sleep disorders: chronic insomnia or shallow sleep contribute to worsening symptoms.
Is there a cure for fibromyalgia?
There is no definitive cure, but there are effective ways to manage it, reduce symptoms, and improve quality of life.
