Fibromyalgia—The Sound of Distant Thunder (PDF)
Stress and dopamine: Implications for the pathophysiology of chronic widespread pain.
"Fibromyalgia
has been called a “stress-related disorder” due to the
onset and exacerbation of symptoms in the context of stressful events.
... This pain-suppression system is activated by acute stress, ....
However, prolonged exposure to unavoidable stress produces both
reduction of dopamine output in the nucleus accumbens and development
of persistent hyperalgesia. It is proposed that a stress-related
reduction of dopaminergic tone within the nucleus accumbens contributes
to the development of hyperalgesia in the context of chronic stress and
thus plays a role in the pathogenesis of fibromyalgia. A stress-related
dysfunction of mesolimbic dopaminergic activity might serve as the
basis for other fibromyalgia–associated phenomena as well."
