[citation needed] It encompasses disorders such as fibromyalgia, chronic widespread pain, temporomandibular disorder, irritable bowel syndrome, [1] lower back pain, tension headache, atypical face pain, non-cardiac chest pain, insomnia ...
Nociplastic pain (or central sensitization) is less understood and is the common explanation of the pain experienced in fibromyalgia. [13] [16] [86] Because the three forms of pain can overlap, fibromyalgia patients may experience nociceptive (e.g., rheumatic illnesses) and neuropathic (e.g., small fiber neuropathy) pain, in addition to ...
The level of activity that triggers PEM, as well as the symptoms, vary from person to person, and within individuals over time. [6] Due to this variability, affected people may be unable to predict what will trigger it. [4] This variable, relapsing-remitting pattern can cause one's abilities to fluctuate from one day to the next. [1]
People with fibromyalgia are hypersensitive to intense stimuli such as bright lights, loud noises, perfumes, and cold temperatures; people with the condition also have hyper-excitable nociceptors. [29] When people with fibromyalgia are subjected to intense stimuli, they experience sensory overload in the form of pain.
The National Fibromyalgia Research Association simply states "A common thread in many cases of fibromyalgia seems to be a tendency to feel better when refined sugar, caffeine, alcohol, fried foods, red meat, and highly processed foods, are kept to a sound personal minimum in the diet," but it doesn't offer any evidence.

Magnesium deficiency causes neurogenic inflammation in a rat model. Researchers have theorized that since substance P which appears at day five of induced magnesium deficiency, is known to stimulate in turn the production of other inflammatory cytokines including IL-1, Interleukin 6 (IL-6), and TNF-alpha (TNFα), which begin a sharp rise at day 12, substance P is a key in the path from ...
