Fibromyalgia References: Triggers, Symptoms, Treatments - & Hunting & Tracking them

Studies list

80+ published studies on fibro are registered on pubmed per month…! :upside_down_face:

I just thought I’d look if there’s a new study or two on pubmed: <fibromyalgia 2021> brings up 394 results. Dud, I thought. Scanned thru them all. Not dud! A few are from 2020. That’s 100 studies per month! Most of them center on fibro, all of them relevant in one way or another (pain, duloxetine etc.). Update July: Gone down a little bit to 80+.
