As Colleen's article noted, there are a number of disorders which have central sensitization as a hallmark symptom, with FM being one. I like the article suggesting that "mild aerobic exercise" lowers central sensitization pain. There is no "mild" aerobic exercise, it's either aerobic ( very difficult, especially for us) or not aerobic. My pain management specialist, who recently fired me and said, essentially, suck up the day-to-day pain and do aerobic exercise for an hour each day, was clueless. I sent her a nasty letter and copied it to the chief medical officer at the hospital. It's very unfortunate that my FM pain got much worse the last three years as the "opioid crisis" caused doctors to throw people in real pain under the bus. This is a difficult time to have chronic pain in America.

no........they are two different things...read up on it...

Central Sensitization is the umbrella of several disorders including Fibromyalgia.
