Right now Fibromyalgia looks like an infection that the immune system has not beaten.

Older post:
Xanthomonas is a bacteria that infects nightshade plants.  They use butyrolactones as signalling molecules between them.

In our bodies butyrolactones is converted to GHB which is then converted to GABA.  GABA is the neurotransmitter. How our nerves talk to each other.

A form of Xanthomonas has been found to infect the respiratory tract of people and is considered a new bacterial genus: named Stenotrophomonas.

My notion is actually a question: does the Stenotrophomonas still make these signalling molecules when exposed to nightshades like a bell pepper when it infects us? Could this explain the painful reactions to nightshades that Fibromyalgia patients have? Are antibodies directed at the butyrolactones causing antibodies to GABA thus causing one's own immune system to attack our nerves?

New post

Osteoarthritis and bone spurs appear to overlap with fibromyalgia. Do these diseases have associations with Stenotrophomonas?

If this infection likes the lungs we should see an area of overlap for Fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis of dysnpnea.

Note that it appears that Chronic fatigue is different and involves epstein barr aka mono possibly infecting the nerves and the pineal gland....maybe. Herpes viruses tend to come in and out of latency and that could be what we are seeing for chronic fatigue.

New thoughts 11/20/2015
Pituitary growth hormone from pituitary tumors has been paired with osteoarthritis. Does Stenotrophomonas go to the pituitary? what starts a pituitary tumor? How would stenotrophomona effect the pituitary?

My thoughts: the stenotrophomonas make butyrolactones which is converted to GHB in our bodies. Do chronic infections of strenotrophomonas cause pituitary issues through GHB? The infection doesn't even go to the pituitary?
