In this episode, Dr Vignesh Devraj explores Fibromyalgia, one of the most misunderstood chronic pain conditions of our time.

Many people living with Fibromyalgia are told that their reports are normal, their scans are clear, and that nothing appears to be wrong. Yet they continue to experience widespread pain, fatigue, poor sleep, brain fog, and a deep sense of exhaustion that affects every aspect of life.

Dr Vignesh explains the modern understanding of central sensitisation, why Fibromyalgia is not an imaginary condition, and how the nervous system can become overly sensitive to normal stimuli. He also shares his clinical observations from treating patients over the past two decades, including common emotional patterns, the relationship between sleep and pain, and why many patients feel unseen and misunderstood.

The conversation explores Fibromyalgia through an Ayurvedic lens, discussing Vata imbalance, Agni, Ama, Panchakarma, lifestyle interventions, nervous system regulation, and the importance of creating a healing environment.
