 long been erroneously assigned to the character of fibromyalgia psychological or psychosomatic illness to the point that was called psychogenic rheumatism . However, MRI studies performed in patients with health problems have revealed that the pains are expressed as low-intensity stimulation, unlike healthy people, the brain areas responsible for pain, such as primary and secondary somatosensory cortex somatosensory, prefrontal cortex, inferior parietal lobe, the anterior cingulate cortex, insula, lymph baseline, the putamen and cerebellum. It is likely that such a low threshold of tolerance of pain causes the patient with fibromyalgia this tenderness, a state of excessive pain, pressure and other stimuli. |
| Anyway debate continues about whether fibromyalgia is a disease in itself or whether it is actually a set symptoms (ie, a syndrome) for rheumatic diseases, neurological or immunological diagnosis is difficult and expensive or, simply, this is the accentuation of a set of processes (fatigue, sleep disorders, pain, etc.). disease are not in themselves but their combination creates significant problems for the normal life of those suffering. Like many of the common symptoms of other disorders, patients with fibromyalgia who do not receive a correct diagnosis and those who are not informed in detail about their illness is often a cumbersome and costly provocárseles pilgrimage by different systems and services consequent health proposal for a list of paraclinical tests and specific therapies, sometimes aggressive and iatrogenic effects that worsen the prognosis of the process and returns the patient's future uncertain. |
| No physical abnormalities were detected in the points that the patient reports pain, which is why most current hypotheses about its causes are directed towards seeking neuroscience phenomena at the level of awareness central nervous system and maintenance of altered pain responses of neurotransmitters. Although the results of physical examination is usually normal and people have a healthy, careful examination of the muscles of people with fibromyalgia reveals touch-sensitive areas at specific locations called tender points. These are areas of the body that are painful when pressure is exerted on them. The presence and pattern of these points differ characteristically hypersensitive fibromyalgia from other conditions. |
