Fibromyalgia

Impacting more than 10 million Americans, Fibromyalgia is an illness characterized by widespread, chronic pain. The pain typically fluctuates in intensity over time, although it seldom completely goes away. The pain may be aching, tingling, burning, and/or throbbing sensations, and is usually associated with significant muscle stiffness.

Although Fibromyalgia affects the whole body, the neck, back and shoulders are most commonly affected. Check the core symptoms that may apply to you:

• Widespread, chronic pain
• Extreme fatigue/exhaustion
• Disrupted sleep
• Headaches, including migraines
• Restlessness
• Impaired concentration
• Irritable bowel and/or bladder

If you have chronic pain and two or more of the additional symptoms above, there is a very good possibility that you may have Fibromyalgia. These symptoms can be caused by other medical conditions including other neurological and orthopedic disorders, rheumatological disorders, mood disorders, and some chronic infections. Rarely, prescription and non-prescription medications may also cause these symptoms or make them worse.
