Question:
- Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – a couple of other people have mentioned this along with myself: tag alongs with bipolar (well..TAG ALONGS…hehe) like migraines and fibro and others… i’ve read (as best as i can remember) that because the flight or fright button was turned on for so long, those steriod like the neurotransmitters got turned up high and the neurons got a lot of receptors to handle them. then, when the crush came down and ya don’t need em, you can get neuro responses to lack of endorphines adreline etc…like panic attacks… any info? lalalalala(callme)llalalala alexia
Hi Alexia- Yes, I"ve read those things also. They are theories with no formal studies done. With fibro, they have tested for cortisol levels with mixed results. The bottom line is we have no clue why stress induces fibromyalgia or PTSD. We DO know stress is usually the trigger for both disorders and many more–such as MPD/DID. The latest study on Fibro, done by the University of Florida indicates that fibro is a neuroligical disorder–the brain does not communicate pain signals properly. This would actually explain all of it–even the mixed results of muscle biopsies and coritsol testing and other stuff I cant remember right now. LOL Steve Emerson wrote several great papers on this issue–he is really sick right now–he thinks his fibro was caused by mercury poisoning (I’m not gonig there right now). But, I do have a link to part of his work: http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/6028/emerson.htm HTH, Nancy to email me, remove the Z. administrator/creator/moderator alt.med.fibromyalgia.recovery.info (moderated) alt.support.depression.manic.moderated
