Abstract:
We report the case of a woman treated with a gonadotrophin-releasing hormone analogue for endometriosis who developed typical clinical features of fibromyalgia, with widespread musculoskeletal pain, sleep difficulties, neuropsychological complaints and tender points on clininal examination. The gonadotrophin-releasing hormone analogue treatment probably induced disturbances in the neuroendocrine system and the secretion of neurotransmitters, and may be suspected to be the cause of this case of fibromyalgia.
