The most popular one suggests it may be due to an irregularity in levels of serotonin; the neurotransmitter that regulates the mood, sleep and pain signals sent to the brain. Others conclude a possible connection with psychological factors such as stress and depression.

Some patients have found relief through: oPhysical therapy oHeat therapy oAcupuncture oMediation oAntidepressants oAnti seizure medication Although controversial, some doctors believe that fibromyalgia is a psychosomatic condition that exists solely in a patient's head as a result of other mental illness.
