The risk of fibromyalgia in patients with iron deficiency anemia: a nationwide population-based cohort study

Abstract Since iron is essential for neurotransmitter synthesis, decreased iron stores might lead to reduced production of biogenic amines which phenomenon was shown in Fibromyalgia (FM) patients. The aims are to investigate the association of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and FM and to find the effe...
