“When researchers injected mice with antibodies from fibromyalgia patients, the animals developed symptoms of the disease—suggesting that it may be controlled by the immune system, not the nervous system.
[…] Des Quinn, the chair of Fibromyalgia Action UK, tells The Guardian that researchers have often debated whether fibromyalgia is an autoimmune disease, and that the results of this study add to that discussion. “If these results can be replicated and expanded upon, then the prospect of a new treatment for people with fibromyalgia would be extraordinary,” he says. “However, the results need further confirmation and investigation before the outcomes can be applied universally.””
