How Does Mainstream Medicine Treat Fibromyalgia?
Mainstream medicine's approach to fibromyalgia is a label and a nerve pill.
Widespread pain. Normal imaging. So you get gabapentin, an antidepressant, or "there's nothing structurally wrong." The pain is still there. The fog is still there.
For how long? Usually as a lifelong diagnosis to manage, not a problem to unwind.

What Does Mainstream Medicine Miss About Fibromyalgia?
The pain is real, and the nervous system turns the volume up because something upstream keeps sending threat signals.
Fibromyalgia has a root cause. The pain is real — the nervous system is turning the volume up because something upstream keeps sending threat signals. Numbing those signals can take the edge off, but it doesn't explain why the volume went up. If you only treat the pain score, the body stays on high alert.
The Atma Approach looks at you as a unique person. Why is your pain system stuck on high?
