MedSys / Fibromyalgia / All chapters

Every chapter

Two chapters and the essentials page. Deliberately small — the treatment evidence base is narrow, and a topic that pads itself out implies there is more on offer than there is.

Essentials All chapters

Understanding it

What the condition is, and what the 2026 genetic study established.

ChapterWhat it coversRead
01 What it actually is The 2026 genetic study in full, why the Huntington's gene signal needs careful reading, why the sex ratio was wrong, and what nociplastic pain means. 5 min

Doing something about it

The treatments with evidence behind them, in the order they are worth trying.

ChapterWhat it coversRead
02 What actually helps Movement, sleep and psychological therapy ahead of drugs; what each medicine is worth; why opioids make it worse; and how to get a plan rather than another test. 9 min

Nothing here replaces your own clinician. Fibromyalgia is a clinical diagnosis and the treatments described need a plan made with someone who has seen you. This topic exists to make that conversation better informed, not to replace it.
