Fibromyalgia: The Answer Is Blowin' in the Wind
Dr. Kevin White quotes Bob Dylan in asking, "How many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesn't see? These immortalized words have rung true repeatedly throughout the sordid history of humankind. Yet it should seem startling that Dylan's words might apply to physicians, who recite the Hippocratic Oath, and promise to ease pain and suffering and 'do no harm.' Nonetheless, these words too often do apply to physicians, perhaps no more frequently than when many such physicians are asked to deal with fibromyalgia (FM)." |

Non-Allergic Rhinitis and Fibromyalgia
As a group, persons with fibromyalgia (FM) exhibit many similar symptoms of allergic rhinitis: a chronic runny nose, a congested head, a throat-clearing cough, or a maddening postnasal drip. While a sign of allergic reaction in some, for most with FM it is not, for there is no immune reaction in the body (i.e., antibodies that are detected by skin testing) and very little itching or inflammation occurs in the eyes and nose, respectively. When allergies are not present, the condition is usually referred to as "non-allergic rhinitis" (also known as vasomotor rhinitis or irritant rhinitis). Much is still unknown about the body mechanisms that cause such rhinitis, but a few theories have been advanced.
