Lumps and Bumps

I have been reading a lot about fibromyalgia lately and in a book by a Dr. Amand, as reported by a couple of Drs. 25 years ago - states that calcium remains immobile due to a lack of Action potentials because people with FMS have a 25% drop of ATP levels in their muscle thus not allowing calcium to be moved via active transport. The Ca, providing a constant request for action doesn't allow time for the cells to rest and regenerate, resulting in overtaxed systems and resulting in everything from brittle nails to cerebral, musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary problems. Trying to figure this out.
