Understanding Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and mood issues. It affects millions of people worldwide, predominantly women. The exact cause of fibromyalgia is unclear, but factors such as genetics, infections, and physical or emotional trauma may contribute to its onset.

Symptoms of Fibromyalgia

Common symptoms of fibromyalgia include:

Mood Disorders: Anxiety, depression, and irritability.

Widespread Pain: Chronic, widespread pain affecting muscles, joints, and tissues throughout the body.

Fatigue: Persistent fatigue and exhaustion, even after sleep.

Sleep Disturbances: Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, and non-restorative sleep.

Cognitive Issues: Memory problems, difficulty concentrating, and “fibro fog”.
