Fibromyalgia: The Invisible Pain and the Autoimmune Connection
Fibromyalgia is one of the most misunderstood conditions in modern medicine. For decades, patients were told their pain was psychosomatic. Emerging research on neuroinflammatory autoantibodies is now blurring the line between central sensitization and autoimmunity.
This chapter is part of the complete "Immune Reset" book by Dr. Pedro A. Deliz, MD. The full text, clinical protocols, dosing recommendations, and referenced studies are available in the published edition.

- Central sensitization: the nervous system's volume dial stuck at maximum
- Neuroinflammation: elevated IL-6 and TNF-alpha in cerebrospinal fluid
- Mitochondrial dysfunction and the ATP depletion theory of fibromyalgia
