Pain, Sleep Linked to the Fibro Brain

[Guest guest]

Do you wake up stiff and achy, feeling so much older that you really are?

Or, maybe you spend the night in and out of sleep, frustrated that you cannot

reach that deep restorative level that you know your body is craving. Recent

brain imaging studies that measure the amount of gray matter in people with

fibromyalgia confirm that your pain and sleep disruption are absolutely real.

In addition, a study looking at how the fibromyalgia brain responds to painful

stimuli, compared to healthy pain-free subjects, points to an important

neurotransmitter deficiency.

Protect your aging brain against the accelerated loss of gray matter. _Learn

studies and researcher-recommended therapies.

This was sent to me from the Fibromyalgia Network and I found it so

interesting and informative, that I just had to share it with all of you who are

in

the same predicament as me.

Love and gentle hugs,

Debi/So. Cal.-54
