· Fibromyalgia syndrome affects the muscles and soft tissue. Symptoms include chronic pain in the muscles, fatigue, sleep problems, and painful tender points or trigger points at certain parts of the body.
· Fibromyalgia is the most common arthritis-related illness after osteoarthritis. It is often misdiagnosed and misunderstood. It can be life-altering for a patient with this condition.
· More than 12 million Americans have Fibromyalgia. Most of them are women ranging in age from 25 to 60. Women are 10 times more likely to get this disease than men.
Fibromyalgia, a disabling illness that is characterized by widespread pain and debilitating fatigue, afflicts 1 in 20 female and 1 in 50 male American adults. Its sufferers are often labeled as drug-seekers, hypochondriacs and whiners. Research is leading to both a clearer understanding and effective treatments strategies.
Fibromyalgia, an illness that results in widespread pain, fatigue, digestive and mood disorders and insomnia, is emerging from its enigmatic status and becoming a better understood phenomenon. No longer do fibromyalgia sufferers need to feel like they are crazy, need to just “tough it out” or settle for symptom-only treatment. What research has revealed is that “fibromyalgia is a complex illness that requires a scientific, holistic approach.” Research in recent years has clarified that “fibromyalgia is a sympathetically-maintained, neuropathic pain syndrome.” In plain English, fibromyalgia is the result of a stress-perpetuated dysfunction within the nervous system, mainly the autonomic division, which leads to chronic pain and other symptoms. This understanding allows clinicians to move beyond mere symptom treatment and be able to directly address causative factors.
