Article from Fibromyalgia News Today (FNT) – Skin of Fibromyalgia Patients Could Provide Disease Clue
I’d like to share this interesting, but short article that has expanded my opinion about the link between Fibro, inflammatory/autoimmune disorders and Connective Tissue/Collagen Disorders.
Via this link: Skin of Fibromyalgia Patients Could Provide Disease Clues
The article uses findings from this study:
“Oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and, inflammation common events in skin of patients with Fibromyalgia“ (appeared in the Mitochondrion Journal Benito Sánchez-Domínguez, Pedro Bullón, Lourdes Román-Malo, Fabiola Marín-Aguilar, Elísabet Alcocer-Gómez, Angel M. Carrión, José Antonio Sánchez-Alcazar, Mario D. Cordero, March 2015, vol 21)
