So true. I have fibromyalgia and my pain sensory system is amped up. Just using muscles can make them sensitive, numb or achy. I never heard of nerve system training. I am going to check out your past videos. Thanks.

Just curious (as someone who's been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and ME/CFS) how is this not (or is it) considered an autoimmune issue?

[@paincrusaderofficial]

As of now, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome aren't classified as autoimmune conditions. However, there's a weird overlap where folks with autoimmune issues often experience chronic pain. It's a bit of a chicken or egg situation... let me explain...
If you have a pre-existing autoimmune condition, your body's defense system is already in hyperdrive, which can predispose you to developing chronic, widespread pain. But high inflammation can be a symptom of an over-reactive nervous system where it ramps up inflammation as a 'just-in-case' measure to protect you from any potential injury/infection like putting out a small kitchen fire with a firehose--a little overkill, right? Over time, this can spiral into your immune system turning against you, hence it can turn into a semi-auto-immune problem.
So, in summary, while fibromyalgia isn't an autoimmune condition, the pathways are interrelated. There's an underlying nervous system issue messing with your inflammation levels, and that could potentially snowball into an autoimmune-like scenario.

Nonsense.

How so? Curious why you think that

​@@paincrusaderofficialthis all seem like lorimer moseley explain and retrain the nervous sstem through movement and mechanical forces nonsense.
You can't do the proper movements or corrective exercises to down regulte whatever the problem is whe active myofascial trigger points are present. Infact continuous input from active myofascial trigger points can increase excitability of dorsal horn neurons leading to central sensitization; allodynia, hyperalgesia, temporal summation, long term potentiation.
I spent 7 years in pain, doing all or the stupid tests, mris, STUPID exercises and stretches and all it did was make it worse. Never did a physical therapist do any dry needing because ny state doesn't permit it.
According to Dommerholt, all treatments fall into one of these two categories or both: a pain-control phase and a deep conditioning phase. During the pain-control phase, trigger points are deactivated, improving circulation, decreasing pathological nociceptive activity, and eliminating the abnormal biomechanical force patterns. During the deep conditioning phase, the intra- and inter- tissue mobility of the functional unit is improved, which may include specific muscle stretches, neurodynamic mobilizations, joint mobilizations, orthotics, and strengthening muscle71.
Current approaches for management of MPS include pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions. Among the pharmacological approaches are anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and narcotic medications, topical creams, and trigger point injections, which are now safer and more effective. Non-pharmacological interventions include manual therapies, which continue to include post-isometric relaxation, counterstrain method72, trigger point compression, muscle energy techniques, and myotherapy73, along with other treatments like laser therapy74, dry needling, and massage35,

@paincrusaderofficial
I appreciate you asking this! Since the original poster didn't respond, I'm going to give my thoughts..
Is there solid proof that this is the case with the nervous system being ramped up or highly sensitive?
One thing is, it tends to feel a lot like much of the medical gaslighting that we have experienced.
Do these conditions have anything to do with the immune system?
Not clearly understanding the mechanisms, and moreso, not having clear treatment or cures.. it really does make me question if this part of the more modern story with many chronic pain issues are understood well enough to say that the nervous system is highly sensitive.
Do you feel like you understand what I'm trying to explain?

@@jopainting1668 Hey, I appreciate your response! The medical community has done a stellar job of leaving many chronic pain patients in the dark, feeling gaslit and confused.
So, is there solid proof that the nervous system is ramped up or overly sensitive? Yes. 100%. These maladaptive nervous system changes are well documented in hundreds of studies. We know that:
- There are changes in the peripheral nerves that make them more reactive to smaller stimuli.
- Many changes occur in the spinal cord that causes pain to become amplified and spread.
- There are changes in sensory processing in the brain.
- There are spatial body awareness changes.
- There is an increase in widespread brain activity.
- Pain can become an automatic, conditioned response.
- This causes symptoms of widespread, unpredictable, disproportionate pain along with (sometimes) sleep disturbances, mood, and memory issues, brain fog, gut dysfunction, immune system and hormonal imbalances, and even problems involving the reproductive system.
Medical gaslighting that you're referring to happens when providers are misinformed, uneducated, and/or rushed. Oftentimes, when your pain doesn't fit perfectly into their cookie-cutter, outdated definitions of how pain should look -- associated with an obvious physical, structural, or mechanical cause-- the default is to chalk it up to "stress", implying that this is "all in your head", in essence, blaming the patient for their condition. TO BE CLEAR: A hypersensitive nervous system problem is NOT a thinking problem, a mood problem, or a problem of repressed emotions. It's not a stress problem. "Regulating your stress responses" is not going to fix the underlying issues in the nervous system that are activating the sympathetic nervous system and causing the fight-or-flight response. Psychology-based mind-body methods may help you alter your response to the pain, which in some cases may keep pain from escalating, but mostly it just helps with anxiety and stress. Talking about the changes in your nervous system is the antidote to medical gaslighting that says "It's all in your head" or "You're exaggerating"... This is the scientific explanation for why you hurt so much and for so long. Chronic pain is a nervous system disorder, but even though the brain is part of the nervous system, in no way does that mean it's a "mind" disorder.
The immune system can play a role in chronic pain, but it's not the only culprit. Often, increased inflammation is a symptom of a hypersensitive nervous system.
Do we understand it well enough?: To be honest, there's still a lot to learn. However, we know enough to say that nervous system sensitivity is a key player in chronic pain something that needs to be addressed.
