Fibromyalgia-Type Chronic Pain
Fibromyalgia involves central sensitization and widespread pain. We investigate mitochondrial dysfunction, nutrient gaps, sleep disorders, and neuroinflammation.
Symptoms
Widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, unrefreshing sleep, cognitive difficulties, and heightened pain sensitivity.
Causes and risk
Central sensitization, mitochondrial dysfunction, magnesium and CoQ10 deficiency, sleep disorders, and past trauma.
How it is evaluated
Organic acids for mitochondrial markers, micronutrient levels, thyroid, inflammatory markers, cortisol, and sleep assessment.
Treatment
Mitochondrial support (CoQ10, D-ribose, magnesium), low-dose naltrexone, gentle exercise, sleep management, and anti-inflammatory diet.
