I suspect that just like almost all illnesses can be viewed from an anatomic, biochemical, and biophysics perspective, and often explained largely from each of those perspectives individually, it can also be explained from a Mind/body/spirit perspective. I have discussed the mind-body perspective of fibromyalgia elsewhere. But not so much the spiritual interplay with the physical. So please bear with me as I give a perspective to…
