This is a repeat of the Fibromyalgia Post
Many of the strange times that happen in Fibromyalgia I believe happen for mechanically reasons.
The medical model of how nerves work is known to many a medical professional. This model is known to be flawed and does not explain why physical treatments that are used by the complementary practitioners such as McTimony chiropractors, Alexander Teachers are helpful.
The following can explain many of the different sensations that can be experienced.
A Comparison of the Hodgkin–Huxley Model and the Soliton Theory for the Action Potential in Nerves

"For instance, it is known that nerves display thickness and length variations under the influence of the action potential [7–13]. Interestingly, the action potential can be excited by a mechanical stimulus, indicating that the nerve pulse possesses a mechanical component."
Brain Cells Communicate with Mechanical Pulses, Not Electric Signals

This is hopefully an easy read.
"Physicians have administered general anesthetics for 170 years. They have discovered dozens of effective compounds. When given at progressively higher doses, the drugs all silence nerve functions in the body and brain in the same distinct order: first memory formation, then pain sensation, then consciousness, and eventually breathing. This same sequence happens across all animals, from humans to flies.
Yet no one knows how anesthesia actually works. The molecular structures of nitrous oxide, ether, sevoflurane and xenon are so different that it is unlikely they exert their common effects by binding to equivalent proteins in cells, as other drugs do.
Heimburg thinks anesthetics work in a radically different way: by changing the mechanical properties of a nerve. If that is true, it means that nerve cells, or neurons, throughout the body and brain are mechanical machines, not the electric circuits scientists have believed in for decades. In Heimburg’s view, the electric pulses are simply the side effects of a physical shock wave that ripples down the nerve, similar to the way sound waves travel. He thinks anesthetics silence nerves by soaking into the fatty membranes that encase nerve fibers, rendering them too soft to transmit the shock waves, like a guitar string too slack to twang."
On soliton propagation in biomembranes and nerves

it says: "Various authors have noted that the action potential is accompanied by reversible mechanical dislocations, changes in volume and temperature"
The medical model of how a nerve works does not explain the many sensations that people experience. The Solitron physical model does. The solitron model explains why the complementary medical system has physical treatments that can help whereas the medical model drug treatments put forward by the neurologists have a tendency to fail.
Mechanical pressure on nerves can do all sorts of things. Many of the sensations felt in Fibromyalgia I believe are due to mechanical pressures on nerves somewhere along their length which alter the messages that the brain receives in unpredictable ways.
The McTimony chiropractor treatment I experience is a mechanical treatment. The mechanical treatment alters the sensations and emotions that I experience.
The Alexander technique is a mechanical experience which alters the sensations and emotions I feel.
