Fibromyalgia and pain memory

This is old, but useful.
ScienceDaily (2000-11-01) -- The symptoms of fibromyalgia may be the result of a central nervous system that "remembers" pain sensations for an abnormally long time, according to research presented at the American College of Rheumatology Annual Scientific Meeting Oct. 29 -- Nov. 2 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

I would love to learn more about remembering pain.

I was physically abused as a child -beaten with switches and a wooden stick and whatever else was nearby. I have Fibromyalgia and suffer greatly.

My doctor believes that it is very possible that the abuse set me up for Fibromyalgia.

I was in a bad head-on car crash a few years ago and now my symptoms are even greater.

Thanks for posting this article.

I have a blog chronicling my life with RSD. Please feel free to check it out and if I can be of any service to you for your work on pain, please let me know:
