Dysmenorrhea
Around 90% of women suffering from fibromyalgia experience menstrual cramps at some point in their life. Research has suggested that fibromyalgia causes a general sensitization of the nervous system which eventually results in intense crushing pain. People with fibromyalgia have low pain threshold due to excessive sensitization which can lead to frequent painful episodes of menstrual cramps in women with fibromyalgia. Contact your doctor as soon as possible if you are suffering from frequent painful menstrual cramps.
