What is Fibromyalgia?
In basic terms, fibromyalgia is a chronic overstimulated nerve condition that includes general pain and tenderness across the body. Over 5.8 million people in the United States are diagnosed with fibromyalgia, mostly women.
What are the symptoms of fibromyalgia?
If you are experiencing any of the below symptoms, it is wise to consult a physician:
- Aching all over, often with specific points more painful than others.
- Chronic fatigue
- Swelling
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Difficulty Sleeping
- Brain Fog
- Headaches
- Incontinence
- Abdominal Pain
- Stiffness
These symptoms can often be overlooked because of their similarities to autoimmune, hypothyroidism and other disease processes. So it is important to get tested. Take time to write down your observations and experience so that you can share this with your doctor.
