Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder that is characterized by aches, pains and muscle stiffness all over the body. While fibromyalgia pains can vary in intensity, sufferers generally describe it as deep, persistent muscular pain. Other common symptoms include tenderness throughout the body, tiredness, insomnia, memory/concentration problems and headaches. These symptoms can have a disabling effect on a person. A person suffering from fibromyalgia has “tender points” on the body; when these areas are pressed, people with fibromyalgia feel intense pain.
There is no known cause of this condition, but it is considered to be associated with how a person's central nervous system processes pain messages. Additionally, there is no lab test or X-ray to diagnose this disorder: Your doctor relies solely on the group of symptoms to confirm the diagnosis. Fibromyalgia occurs more commonly in women, as compared to men. People who have a smoking habit, are obese, have been diagnosed with conditions related to the joints, or have a family history of fibromyalgia are more prone to it.
It can be hard to diagnose fibromyalgia. The reason behind the difficulty in diagnosing is because fibromyalgia can have symptoms similar to those of other conditions, and there is no specific test to diagnose it. Therefore, the doctor will ask you about the symptoms, the severity of the symptoms and how long they have been occurring. After making note of your symptoms, the doctor will try to rule out the possibility of other underlying conditions that could be causing the symptoms and provide treatment accordingly.
Fibromyalgia can be hard to manage on your own. If you suspect having fibromyalgia, you must work with your doctor to come up with a treatment plan that is best suited to your symptoms. Treatment may include some of the following:
