Fibromyalgia pain

It wasn’t until recent years that the term “fibromyalgia” was used to describe a condition marked by tiredness, fatigue and widespread pain affecting literally every part of the body. The word is somewhat descriptive as the cause of fibromyalgia is thought to begin the fibrous, connective tissues in the body. The pain often begins in one area but can spread to many parts of the body.

Finally, an explanation!

Many people struggled for years with this condition which had no name up to now. Some were told their problems were psychological while others were told that rest, relaxation and exercise was the cure. Eventually, the particular complaints and symptoms of this disease became so common, the medical community began to take notice.

Symptoms of Fibromyalgia

Because of its many symptoms, fibromyalgia is difficult to diagnose. The long stream of symptoms include a lack of energy, headaches (especially tension and migraine headaches), flu-like symptoms, lack of endurance, problems with proper circulation, and even changes in skin color.

Problems and struggles

For many patients that are eventually (and finally) diagnosed as having Fibromyalgia, it is the end of the struggle to identify a disease with up until now, having only vague descriptions and confusing but real symptoms.

Most patients are quite relieved to know their condition has a name and more importantly, can be treated.
