What is Fibromyalgia
|
| Fibromyalgia (fi-bro-my-AL-ja) syndrome
(FMS) produces chronic body-wide pain, which migrates and can be felt
from head to toe. Other symptoms include persistent fatigue, headaches,
cognitive or memory impairment, morning stiffness and non-restorative
sleep. The pain can migrate from day to day. Recent scientific research
studies have shown central nervous system involvement in FMS.
- Over 6 million Americans, 90% of them women in the prime of their
life, suffer from FMS and sometimes struggle for years before being
correctly diagnosed.
- Symptoms usually appear between 20-55 years of age, but children are
also diagnosed with fibromyalgia syndrome.
- Pain and severe fatigue may keep FMS sufferers from their chosen profession
and unable to perform common daily tasks.
- Fibromyalgia pain continues throughout a person’s lifetime.
