The study's classification system is as follows: Stage 1, which is regional with classic symptoms. Stage 2, which is generalized with increasing widespread pain and some additional symptoms. Stage 3, which is advanced with increasing widespread pain, chemical sensitivity, and increasing sleep disturbances.
Research has suggested genetics may play a small part in the development of fibromyalgia, with some people perhaps more likely than others to develop the condition because of their genes. If this is the case, genetics could explain why many people develop fibromyalgia after some sort of trigger.
