    Advances for migraine - might apply to fibromyalgia?

    I listened to a pod cast about recent advances in treatment of migraines the other day. The older theory for how migraines are caused is that the blood vessels dialate then contract, causing pain. The newest research indicates that migraine is actually a central nervous system sensitization...

Some problems like Mortons neuroma, a benign enlargement of the nerve that causes a tingling and shooting pain between the third and fourth toes is worsened by fibro. It can be treated with cortisone shots or...
