What is "fibromyalgia"?
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, and tenderness in the muscles, ligaments, and tendons. People with fibromyalgia may also experience sleep disturbances, mental difficulties, headaches, and mood disorders such as anxiety and depression. The exact cause of fibromyalgia is not fully understood, but it is thought to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. Diagnosis can be challenging, as there are no specific tests for fibromyalgia, and symptoms can vary widely among individuals. Treatment typically involves a team approach, including medications to manage pain and improve sleep, as well as lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, stress management techniques, and mental behavioral therapy.
