Doesn't it amaze you when you hear that there is no such thing as fibromyalgia that it is a generic word for an unknown problem. The the professionals should read this site, we all have the same issues what the heck is it then and why do so many people suffer with it. I do think the processed foods and the preservatives have something to do with it. I suffer with a ton of food allergies and seasonal allergies too along with contact allergies. Changing eating habits and getting the sugar and caffeine out of our diets can help tremendously. I think a lot of it is hormonal also, heck, I have no idea what causes this nonsense but I don't like it one bit.
