Answer
Dear Arthur,

Currently, the cause of fibromyalgia is unknown.  However, a lack of "deep sleep" or REM stage may be the cause of the condition.  The muscles pain of the condition could be due to the muscles being worn out and not having sufficient recovery time.  Cold, damp weather, fatigue, over-exertion, stress and poor posture my exacerbate the condition.

In Oriental perspective, the pain of the muscle is due to qi stagnation.  Qi is the energy in the body that circulates all over in the channels.  The method of treatment to alleviate the pain is to stimulate the blood circulation and qi movement.  This can be accomplish with acupuncture therapy or/and Chinese herbs.
