A new understanding of fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a difficult condition to diagnose as symptoms take many forms, ranging from chronic widespread musculoskeletal pain to fatigue, anxiety and mood disorders.

I have had FMS for 40 yrs now. They called it Fibrositis may yrs ago and that was my original diagnosis. I have been researching and watching my symptoms and others who have I to try and find a cause by elimination. One of the things that I have found is that I remember my dreams vividly. Like I just left the movies but was the person that I was watching on the screen. I watched cars hit me, Jumping and falling and being attacked, anything that was traumatic that I dreamt, I felt in the morning when I woke up. These painful effects lasted until I returned to bed, and the cycle started all over again. I am convinced that the sleep disturbance is caused by a faulty adrenal system that overworks and pours on the juice to protect what the brain thinks is an attack. I don't know if this makes sense to anyone or not, but it should be looked into. I also believe that it has to do with the level of magnesium on the body. If magnesium is not available or the pituitary is not functioning properly, the body will suffer symptoms of a magnesium deficiency or a pituitary malfunction, depending on how you look at it. I have had Drs shrug this notion off, but I would love to try a magnesium supplementation without the risk of hurting my self or to be under a Drs' care. I did notice a difference when I had to prep for a colonoscopy with a magnesium cocktail. I did feel better but didn't enjoy running to the bathroom every fifteen minutes. Maybe you can do a study on the effect of magnesium on the pituatary gland or a the effects on it of magnesium depletion.
