@artemis1886 . Thank you for that. Good to know about all this research! So much scientific information I do not understand. Bottom line “ However, the genetic factors identified to date do not fully explain the etiology of FM.
The genetic studies conducted over the past two decades have not completely explained the molecular mechanisms of FM. Moreover, the effects of genetic factors on FM disease progression, therapeutic response, and outcomes have not yet been defined. Further studies are required to evaluate the relationships between genetic
polymorphisms and these clinical aspects of
FM. Indeed, more prospective studies”, etc.
I wish it was simple like i.e. eating sunflower seeds causes fibromyalgia “.🫤
