Dopamine and fibromyalgia

Dopamine is a chemical in your brain that is used to send messages to the nerve cells or neurons in your brain that control your muscles. James Parkinson figured out in 1817 that the tremors and speech problems seen in what we now call "Parkinson's disease" were improved by giving dopamine. Before that, people with Parkinson's disease were sent to mental hospitals (because doctors then thought if you can't figure out the cause for a disease, it must be "all in your…
