Fibromyalgia — An In-Depth Classical Reading of Widespread Pain and Autonomic Dysregulation
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterised by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbance, cognitive symptoms (“fibro fog”), and autonomic dysregulation. It affects approximately 2–4% of adults, substantially more women, and has no single pathological finding — current understanding centres on central sensitisation, altered pain processing, autonomic dysregulation, and neurotransmitter changes. At Nature’s Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture Clinic in Belmont (Perth) and Geraldton, Dr. Yang provides integrated supportive treatment for fibromyalgia as one of the conditions where the classical framework is particularly useful given the complex multi-system picture.
