Fibromyalgia..Is It an autoimmune disease?

My doctor who is the head of the University of Washington pain clinic says the brain attacks the pain censors in the muscles. They are doing a lot of research in the UK and finding out it may be auto immune disease. But I said to him well if it's the body attacking itself It makes it autoimmune? He said basically just a little different.

I am so interested in this theory!
I have a number of diseases and fibermyalgia is the only one that isn't autoimmune. I have often wondered if it was. Please keep posting any information that you can. My rheumatologist loves learning and there is allot of research being done at U. B.C. and other Canadian universities. Maybe the UK and Canada could share info.
