I posted a link yesterday regarding posting a poll to determine how many of our sensory kids have parents who have Fibromyalgia. I suffer daily with it. There are days when I feel like I can't take one more step and want to fall right where I stand, because I can't keep my eyes open any longer.
I follow another blog and she was posting that she had it today as well and it made my interest peak even higher to find out how may of our members suffer with it and have a child with SPD.
I would love to get opinions from our members regarding whether or not they think the two are related in some way. I'm sure that this has been tossed around before but thought it was an interesting topic to talk about. This isn't being posted to cause a stir. I really am just curious to get others ideas.
Fibromyalgia Pain Linked With Central Nervous System Disorder
American Pain Society (2008, June 3). Fibromyalgia Pain Linked With Central Nervous System Disorder. ScienceDaily. Retrieved June 13, 2010, from http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/05/080531091216.htm
{The Michigan researchers studied 31 subjects to determine if there is a global central nervous system problem underlying sensory processing in fibromyalgia patients. They noted that few studies have employed different stimuli in consistent ways and levels of intensity to measure pain sensitivities in this patient group. In this study, fibromyalgia patients and normal subjects were exposed to random auditory and pressure stimuli.Consistent with prior research, the fibromyalgia subjects in the study showed greater sensitivity to auditory tones and reported higher sensitivity to daily sounds. Further, significant associations were observed between the auditory and pressure responses and support the claim that such abnormalities maybe related to a common pathophysiological mechanism. They also noted that fibromyalgia subjects perceived auditory stimuli to be of the same intensity as felt by control subjects, even though their actual intensity levels were lower.
The authors concluded their findings show that fibromyalgia is associated with a central nervous deficit in sensory processing. Further research is needed to examine mechanisms governing these perceptual abnormalities.}

I don't know much about either but that my aunt had Fibromyalgia. I'm so very very sorry you have it. My aunt suffered a lot and I hate knowing anyone else is too.

This is interesting! I was just reading about sensory ** disorder at someone else's site last week, thinking that so many of the symptoms sound like my son and probably things from my childhood and my mom has Fibromyalgia. It would make sense that they were connected. Will be interesting to see what correlations they find in the future.
My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD recently but we're not having much luck with meds. Plus she also has other sensory issue that we constantly struggle with. I am now thinking she may have SPD from all that I have read. I also wonder if I have SPD. I have a lot of the symptoms of SPD also. A year ago I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I was wondering if the two were related or not.
I have Fibro. It stinks. My son is so highly sensitive to so many things that I have praying he doesn't have it too. He is only 7. Been seeing an Occupational therapist and she says he has SPD. Wow, what is this connection??
I have had fibro for 20 years and still battling daily with it. We saw a psychiatrist today for my 9 year old son who has very high anxiety and some sensory issues so I am now looking into SPD. As soon as I read it was a central nervous system disfunction I wondered if it could be related to fibro - I would be really keen to find out if there is a link!!
So, my 9 year old - who has been diagnosed with oppositional defiance has been in therapy for months. The therapist has just suggested that we should see an occupational therapist for Sensory integration disorder - I was diagnosed with Fibro
when he was 2..
