The exact cause of fibromyalgia is not known, all that they know for sure now is that something is causing the change in the way your brain is reacting to sensations from muscles and joints in your body - it reacts as if it was pain even though it might not be. So that is why you are (unfortunately) experiencing all these different pains and the treatment you were given is basically all your doctors could do - did these medications help you in at all with the symptoms? And it is possible that fibromyalgia gets triggered by some infection, like the one you have. Have the doctors given you any advices about what else, besides medications, you can do? It's considered that it's very important to keep the stress levels low so that pain wouldn't be as bad as it is when you are put under more stress than you should be.
