Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder that causes widespread pain and tenderness throughout the body. It is considered a syndrome because it involves a collection of symptoms that often occur together, including:

Widespread pain: Pain is usually felt in multiple areas of the body, including the neck, shoulders, back, hips, and legs.
Fatigue: People with fibromyalgia often feel tired, even after a good night’s sleep.
Cognitive difficulties: Difficulty with concentration, memory, and attention.
Sleep problems: People with fibromyalgia may have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep.
Sensitivity to touch: Some people with fibromyalgia may experience increased sensitivity to touch, as well as to other stimuli such as sound, light, and temperature.

The cause of fibromyalgia is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. There is no cure for fibromyalgia, but treatment can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Treatment may involve a combination of medication, exercise, therapy, and lifestyle changes.
