Here’s an interesting article. I’m not sure about this particular Dr being the one to make the “discovery” but I do believe he’s on to something and it makes sense in light of what we do know about Fibromyalgia. Basically, Dr. Spitzer claims that both Fibromyalgia and CFS stem from the same cause, damage to the sleep center of the brain.
He’s one of the few Drs who are using Sodium Oxybate to treat Fibromyalgia, and is doing so successfully. Hopefully, his research and ideas will spread and doctors will prove this link allowing those of us with Fibromyalgia to get the treatment/medication that will help us.
