This supports the theory that fibromyalgia is caused by irritation/inflammation in the nervous system, causing pain in the peripheral nerves, and the typical "brain fog" and fatigue that sufferers report. Both can be effectively treated by doing very gentle, pain free nerve stretches, and by use of cranio-sacral therapy to improve fluid flow around the nervous system to remove inflammation. High potency CBD oil also helps, as it targets cannabidiol receptors without the side effects common to e.g. gabapentin or high strength painkillers, which tend to add to fatigue and brain fog symptoms. hashtag#health hashtag#research hashtag#pain hashtag#inflammation hashtag#cbd hashtag#fibromyalgia hashtag#chronicpain
