Does Fibromyalgia Consistently Affect the Same Nerves?

June 15, 2010 by Lisa

This is a question I’ve never really thought about before, but people keep asking me so I thought deeply about what my answer would be.

I think fibromyalgia does consistently affect the same nerves, and I think this answer is actually pretty straight-forward because I believe fibromyalgia affects all the nerves of the body.

Fibromyalgia is totally cumulative and I don’t believe it will ‘attack’ one part of the body and then move on to another part of the body.

I don’t think it’s that way at all.

I think that the entire body gets glued-together, crammed full of stress chemicals, scarred, and full of trigger points all at the same time, chemically. Some areas feel the pain first because they are used more or stretched less so they get glued-together, etc. first mechanically.

So, even though your whole body is in the same state generally, some areas wear out quicker and feel more pain because these are areas that are just worn out and fatigued by all the work you are doing.

Areas like your neck, your upper back, your chest, your wrists, your hips, and your feet are prime areas to feel the most pain in for this reason, in my opinion.

For me, the restorative stretches that I outline in my book healed all these major areas at the same time and then I would spot-treat with self-trigger point massage.

I would love to hear from someone asking this question if this answers it or if there is more they would like to know. Leave me a comment below.
