Fibro Trigger #3: Low hormonal levels

Research proves that fibromyalgia patients' brains contain very low levels of hormones, such as dopamine, serotonin and noradrenaline. This is a chief reason for fibromyalgia development as these hormones affect appetite, sleep, mood, general behavior and response to stress. More importantly, these hormones also deal with sending pain messages to the brain. People who are prone to low hormonal levels are women after menopause or those undergoing depression.

Just as some foods like fruits and veggies can help fibromyalgia, there are certain foods that trigger it. For example, some foods that could increase pain sensitivity include sugar, MSG and artificial sweeteners.
