Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia, often referred as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) can be a frustrating problem specially because its causes and cure are unknown and it is difficult to communicate to others. Anytime you may feel fatigued, drained out feeling pain and tenderness in muscles, ligaments and joints of the body- neck, back, shoulders, upper or lower back etc. You just get up in the morning assuming yourself to be fresh and energetic and you just feel fatigued in the first hour itself. And be it home or your workplace it may be taken as sheer excuse of being lethargic. Well, the good news to all this is that Fibromyalgia is not a disease. But definitely you don’t feel healthy if you feel widespread pain and fatigue every now...

A Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a widespread musculoskeletal pain and fatigue disorder affecting up to 5% of the population, and for which the exact cause is still unknown. The name fibromyalgia comes from “fibro” meaning fibrous tissue (such as tendons and ligaments), “my” meaning muscles, and “algia” meaning pain. It is a chronic disorder characterized by widespread pain in the muscles, ligaments and tendons – the fibrous tissues in the body. As a chronic condition, fibromyalgia is ongoing but it generally doesn’t worsen nor does it cause inflammation to the muscles or internal organs. Also, fibromyalgia is definitely not fatal. As you may be experiencing, most patients with fibromyalgia feel like they ache all over. Muscles may feel like they have been pulled or overworked. The muscles affected most are in the shoulders, buttocks, neck, and lower back. Sometimes the muscles twitch and at other times they burn. You may like to visit
