Your Brain's Role in Chronic Pain
Chronic pain. It’s estimated that 1 in 5 people globally suffer from chronic pain and this number increases with age. Now, I’m not talking about acute pain, which comes and goes. Chronic pain is pain that lasts more than 12 weeks and may appear without any initial injury.
Hashimoto’s is among the most prevalent autoimmune disorder affecting about 10% of population. Hashimoto's patients are especially prone to increased risk of chronic pain as it’s also a recognized cause of fibromyalgia, and chronic widespread pain.
