<blockquote>Pathophysiology: Although the etiology remains unclear, characteristic alterations in the [[Sleep dysfunction|pattern of sleep]] and changes in neuroendocrine transmitters such as [[serotonin]], [[substance P]], growth hormone and [[cortisol]] suggest that regulation of the [[Autonomic nervous system|autonomic]] and neuro-endocrine system appears to be the basis of the syndrome. Fibromyalgia is not a life-threatening, deforming, or progressive disease. [[Anxiety]] and [[depression]] are the most common association. Aberrant pain processing, which can result in [[chronic pain]], may be the result of several interplaying mechanisms. [[Central sensitization]], blunting of inhibitory pain pathways and alterations in [[neurotransmitter]]s lead to aberrant neuro-chemical processing of sensory signals in the [[central nervous system|CNS]], thus lowering the threshold of pain and amplification of normal sensory signals causing constant pain.<ref name="Jahan2012" /></blockquote><blockquote>The frequent co-morbidity of fibromyalgia with mood disorders suggests a major role for the stress response and for [[neuroendocrine system|neuroendocrine]] abnormalities. The [[hypothalamic pituitary axis]] (HPA) is a critical component of the stress-adaptation response. In FMS, stress adaptation response is disturbed leading to stress induce symptoms. Psychiatric co-morbidity has been associated with FMS and needs to be identified during the consultation process, as this requires special consideration during treatment.<ref name="Jahan2012" /></blockquote>

<blockquote>Nearly 500 FM, autoimmune and healthy control patients underwent testing for cytokine/chemokine activity after mitogenic stimulation. Using a numerical score, all three groups had unique patterns with FM patients demonstrating less response to stimulation. This cytokine profile test had a 93 % sensitivity and an 89.4 % specificity for the diagnosis of FM. We also found that these profiles are relatively sensitive and specific for FM compared to SLE and RA. It remains unclear if these differences are directly related to the pathogenesis of FM.<ref name=":1" /></blockquote>

<blockquote>This commentary presents a simplified way of making the diagnosis of [[ME/CFS|myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome]] (ME/CFS) using the [[Fukuda criteria|1994 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention case definition]]. The format used can easily be modified for other case definitions. The commentary then discusses whether [[ME/CFS]] is the same or a different illness from fibromyalgia. Because overlap exists between the 2 syndromes, some investigators have posited that they are variants of the same illness. I have viewed this as an empirically testable hypothesis and have summoned considerable amounts of data that suggest that the 2 illnesses differ. Were differences to exist, that would suggest different pathophysiologic processes for each, leading to different treatments.<ref name=":9" /></blockquote>
