Ive just been reading this article which claims that doctors have found the cause of FM and hope to develop a cure/treatment. Apparently it is a problem with blood vessels rather than faulty nerve impulses from the brain as previously assumed?
Makes an interesting read
Yes My daughter sent me a post about this. It is something to do with too many blood vessels in our hand. I wanted to put the site it was on, so you could read about it, but I haven't a clue. So glad you are able to Zara-LouisD. I shall be interested to see what other people think!
This as been around for a few years now but I have never found anything updated on this article which is a shame .
I believe there have been quite a few folks posting this article a month or so ago. But it is always helps newly diagnosed members who may not have read it before. Thank you xx
Hi, I remember reading this on here a couple of months ago. I put dr frank rices name in google and found the original research. I can't remember the name of ot now! It was very interesting and they are doing further research on it as it's early days. Let's hope it comes to something. 
It gives hope but is about five years old and pops up every six months or so. Unfortunately no follow up research.

The last i read was that it is possibly caused by Fibro and not the other way round.
I dont think anyone knows yet.
At least its another piece of the puzzle.
I've read this before not really sure what to make of it.Peck 🌸
Sorry it's a repeat post........
I hadn't come across it myself before now and thought it was interesting but I guess if it's been around for 5yrs that there's not been much in the way of progress and doesn't sound so hopeful as it did!
Hi Zara-LouiseD
Thank you so much for sharing this my friend. While I appreciate it is not something new it is very interesting and I am sure many of the newer members would not have heard of this. I want to genuinely wish you all the best of luck.
All my hopes and dreams for you
Ken.
Hi Zara Louise, I came across this current research, when looking for information. I hope you and others find this useful.

Following these initial findings and having been a sufferer of this virus in my early years, (a lot of people carry the virus without even knowing they have it), I discussed the findings with my GP. She prescribed me I the antiviral medication (Aciclovir) to dampen down the effect of the virus on my nervous system, to see if it would help.
So far, after just over a week of this medication, I have had less flare ups, my awfully painful hands on waking has stopped, and I have found that I have more energy. Early days yet though.
I hope that this can help.

It sounds ok, but i feel that as the article in question is 4 years old, its hard to get too excited about it. However someone somewhere will figure it out, hopefully soon.
