Myofascial Pain Syndrome referenced in TMS Books

On page 11 of Freedom From Fibromyalgia, Nancy Selfridge writes Some researchers lump myofascial pain syndrome and fibromyalgia together as one ailment; some separate the two. People who have one are likely to have the other. On page 66 of Pain Free for Life, Scott Brady writes This condition involves irritation of the muscles and muscle-covering tissue of the back and neck- but it is not linked to any physical abnormality or disease. Rather, the cause typically involves a stressful response to negative emotions. In some classifications, myofascial pain conditions are said to include muscle tension headaches, soft tissue pain in the neck, and regional shoulder pain, all of which may be linked to Autonomic Overload Syndrome.
