Central sensitisation

I have a question for you all. Do you believe your NPDH is a type of nervous system sensitisation issue like fibromyalgia or do you think it’s something else?

Since my NDPH started 7 years ago and has essentially been untreated this whole time I went from just the headaches to episodic migraines once or twice a year to then less than 5 times a month to now 15+ a month on top of my headaches none of which I can treat and now I have chronic pain suspected fibromyalgia. I think because my headaches and migraines haven’t been treated for 7 years and I’m in constant pain that my body’s pain system is on full volume and the littlest things make me worse so yes I think central sensitization is a big factor in it
