Fibromyalgia: Common Causes
The causes of fibromyalgia are currently unknown. However, new research suggests that fibromyalgia is a disorder of the autonomic nervous system and the HPA axis that regulate cortisol, neurotransmitters, and key hormones.4 For instance, patients typically have low levels of serotonin and tryptophan, which may account for the sleeplessness, anxiety, and depression that accompany the deep muscle pain.1 Magnesium deficiency is another potential culprit.
