Fibromyalgia And Sexual Abuse
Sexual abuse is, unhappily, a common history in fibromyalgia sufferers. This is a typical ongoing stress. We now know that the perceived stress is the most important factor as a fibromyalgia trigger. Sexual abuse is an ongoing stress that slowly takes its mark on the person suffering from it. It is not the "ok, it did happen in the past, now get over it" but it carries on undermining the health. In a person with the fibromyalgia genetic disease it will easily act as the trigger for more suffering. Psychological help is important in this situation to help alleviate the ongoing stress.
