New Insights into Fibromyalgia Cognitive Dysfunction 🧠🔬

A pioneering study has revealed significant links between hippocampal dysfunction in fibromyalgia and markers of bacterial and viral infections 🦠, alongside elevated anti-CCP antibodies. These findings provide compelling evidence of a biological basis for “fibro fog,” highlighting the potential role of immune and infectious mechanisms in cognitive symptoms and suggesting new pathways for assessment and clinical management.

The study is co-published by Dr. Armin Schwarzbach, PhD, MD, a globally recognised expert in laboratory medicine and tick-borne diseases 🩺, and a distinguished member of the AONM advisory panel. His expertise has informed numerous webinars and research initiatives, reinforcing AONM’s commitment to advancing scientific understanding and patient care in complex chronic conditions.

On the basis of this study, it is suggested that, in fibromyalgia patients complaining of dyscognition, there may be merit in assessing lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1, anti-CCP IgG, and evidence of infection with Borrelia species, Ehrlichia chaffeensis, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Mycoplasm...

🕷️ Tick-borne illnesses can affect multiple systems in the body — and show up in surprisingly different ways.

There can be overlap between stages, and standard tests often miss hidden infections like Lyme disease and its co-infections. 🦠

That’s why we’re proud to partner with ArminLabs, offering advanced, highly sensitive testing to uncover what’s often missed:
🧬 Lyme disease (Borrelia)
🐜 Tick-borne co-infections — Bartonella, Babesia, Ehrlichia & more
🦠 Chronic viruses linked to autoimmunity
🔬 Mycoplasma & Chlamydia pneumoniae

Trusted by practitioners worldwide, ArminLabs combines scientific precision with a focus on finding root causes, so you (and your patients) can get clarity and informed care.

🧬 Could KPU be affecting your energy, immunity or mental clarity?

Kryptopyrroluria (KPU) is a metabolic imbalance that may cause excessive loss of key nutrients like zinc, vitamin B6, and biotin - critical for nervous system, immune, and detoxification support.

💥 Potential symptoms include:
• Fatigue and burnout
• Anxiety or mood swings
• Immune weakness
• Poor stress resilience
• Sensory sensitivities

🔬 AONM offers a specialist urine test for KPU (an often overlooked contributor to chronic illness, particularly in those affected by Lyme disease and co-infections).

New research sheds light on the role of tick-borne and related infections in young people diagnosed with paediatric bipolar disorder. In a recent case series of 37 patients, these infections were explored as possible contributors to complex mood and behavioural symptoms.

These findings may be particularly relevant for clinicians working with treatment-resistant or atypical cases, and they add to a growing understanding of how immune and infectious factors can impact neuropsychiatric health.
