I read the study and read through the list of research references

My observations

• study compares their initial research with mice 🐭 (their poor little paws) which led to the discovery that they had increased IgG leading to the thought that there is a type of inflammation brought on by cytokine storm, probably IL-1.

•Human testing showed those with FMS had increased IgG but the controls did not.

•Looking at the references, IgG is also implicated in the chronic allodynia pain of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) and that is the one syndrome it it most compared to in the references-whether thru perceived cause/action/treatment

Regarding the result, I think it’s a start but they will have to duplicate these on a larger scale with human subjects and then come up with a better game plan moving forward. But it is certainly a giant step forward.
