The worst: In the spring of 2008, my fibromyalgia (technically fibromyalgia syndrome or FMS) was destroying my life. I couldn’t move without crippling pain.

This study, “Less olfactory bulb volumes in patients with fibromyalgia disease,” was published in the Clinical Rheumatology Journal. This finding can help explain why some patients report impairments of olfactory perception. Olfactory perception is often recorded as being deficient in Fibromyalgia Disease patients and…
