The causes of fibromyalgia have not yet been clearly identified. The condition creates unclear signs and symptoms connected with reduced blood flow to some parts of the brain and higher levels of "Substance P," believed to be a sensory neurotransmitter included in the messages of pain, touch, and temperature sent from the body to the brain.
However, researches have found some other potential causes, including the following:
• Malfunctioning of the autonomic nervous system
• Constant sleep problems
• Psychological strain or distress
• Malfunctioning of the immune or endocrine system
• Upper spinal cord damage
• Former viral or bacterial infection
