FIBROMYLGIA/ AND POLLUTION! Hi, New and read old posts. Live in desert s.w. of Arizona! We live in Toxic air of Phoenix Valley.

Our air in Phoenix is in a valley so bad air doesn't escape. And allergies are awful! So as a 71 senior sick all time. Expensive to move.

Difficult to know if pollution has an effect on who develops fibro. I developed fibro when I lived in a huge rural area of Europe, surrounded by thousands of square miles of forests, rivers, small towns and villages. I now live on the coast in SW England and still have fibro.

Think it would need a very large study to decide if pollution plays a part in fibro.

I didn’t have fibro until they began running buses through my residential estate. They go past my door every fifteen minutes in both directions, and sit picking up passengers with their Diesel engines running ! So maybe pollution does have an effect?
