CIRS & Fibromyalgia: When the Root Runs Deeper

Ever feel like your fibromyalgia diagnosis doesn’t tell the whole story?

Let’s talk about CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) — a condition triggered by biotoxins that causes your immune system to stay in a constant state of overdrive.

Sound familiar?
Chronic pain. Fatigue. Brain fog. Sleep issues.
Symptoms that overlap almost perfectly with fibromyalgia.

Here’s the connection:
CIRS isn’t “just” inflammation — it’s neuroimmune chaos. The biotoxins trigger inflammatory pathways that mess with your nervous system, hormones, detox pathways, and even pain perception.

In many with fibro, CIRS might be the underlying driver. And until you address that root cause, symptom management can feel like a losing game.

The good news? With the right testing and root-cause approach, many people start to reclaim their lives.

Don’t settle for “it’s just fibromyalgia.” Ask why your body is screaming.

MCAS & CIRS: The Hidden Connection

Did you know Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) often go hand in hand?

MCAS is when mast cells (your body’s allergy + immune defenders) go rogue, releasing too many chemicals at the wrong time — causing symptoms like itching, brain fog, GI issues, and fatigue.

CIRS is a complex immune response triggered by biotoxins (like mold) that your body can’t clear — leading to widespread inflammation and dysfunction.

The Link?
Both involve immune dysregulation, chronic inflammation, and often share symptoms. Many with CIRS also experience MCAS because mold toxins can activate mast cells, making the inflammation spiral worse.

If you’re treating one, don’t forget to explore the other. Healing is layered — and understanding these root causes is key. At Flourish Clinic we specialize in treating CIRS - which can be the root cause of so many unexplained illnesses, including MCAS.
