Inflammation in Fibromyalgia - What is new research telling us?

Описание: Why is inflammation disregarded with #fibromyalgia?

Chronic inflammation refers to a response by your immune system that sticks around long after an infection, injury, or exposure to a toxin.

Inflammation is so critical because it has been found to be a player in almost every chronic disease. And if it isn’t associated with a chronic disease, it’s probably because no one has looked for it.
