Omg! Thank you for that link. It’s quite informative. I will check it out. Perhaps, that’s why I was prescribed an antidepressant. It would have been nice it it was explained to me.

You're very welcome I'm glad the link was helpful . To be honest most doctors don't understand central pain sensitization or take the time to learn about it. Mostly I have found that doctors stay in their Lane and prescribe for what their specialty is without thinking outside of the box. Mayo Clinic has a pain Rehabilitation Center:

Also you might want to check out this video by Dr Christopher Sletten of the Jacksonville Florida Mayo Clinic PRC:
He breaks down Central sensitization syndrome and offers not only the science behind it but helps bring validation to some of the unexplainable.
I hope you find this helpful, too. Will you let me know if the video resonates with you? What are your next steps in management of your symptoms?
