In some cases, it may be triggered by a virus infection.

The low levels of a chemical known as serotonin may develop the fibromyalgia. Serotonin is very important for regulating sleep and controlling pain. Blood tests are used to confirm the low levels of serotonin in people with fibromyalgia. According to other scientists and researchers, this disease is associated by a lack of good sleep.
