MeSH Fibromyalgia (FM) is a disorder classified by the presence of chronic widespread pain and tactile allodynia While the criteria for such an entity have not yet been thoroughly developed, the recognition that fibromyalgia involves more than just pain has led to the frequent use of the term "fibromyalgia syndrome ". It is not contagious , and recent studies suggest that people with fibromyalgia may be genetically predisposed. The disorder is not directly life-threatening. The degree of symptoms may vary greatly from day to day with periods of flares (severe worsening of symptoms) or remission; however, the disorder is generally perceived as non-progressive Causes The defining symptoms of fibromyalgia are chronic, widespread pain and tenderness to light touch. Other symptoms can include moderate to severe fatigue, a heightened and painful response to gentle touch allodynia ), needle-like tingling of the skin

Fibromyalgia Symptoms
The primary symptoms of fibromyalgia include widespread musculoskeletal pain, severe fatigue, and disturbed sleep. fibromyalgia means pain in the muscles,
http://www.fmnetnews.com/basics-symptoms.php

Extractions: Joy, Member Since 1992 Most patients with fibromyalgia say that they ache all over. Their muscles may feel like they were pulled or overworked. Sometimes fibromyalgia symptoms include muscle twitches and burning sensations. More women than men are afflicted with fibromyalgia, and it shows up in people of all ages. A conservative estimate of its prevalence is 2% of the general population, but it may be as high as 3-5%. To help your family and friends relate to your fibromyalgia symptoms, have them think back to the last time they had a bad flu. Every muscle in their body shouted out in pain. In addition, they felt devoid of energy as though someone had unplugged their power supply. While the severity of symptoms fluctuates from person to person, fibromyalgia may resemble a post-viral state. This similarity is the reason experts believe that fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) may actually be the same condition. Gulf War syndrome also overlaps with FMS/CFS. Common symptoms of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome:

http://www.fibromyalgia.com/

Extractions: If we think of fibromyalgia, or as we should rethink fibromyalgia, we have to look at fibromyalgia as a newer problem, not necessarily as a disease , but we will call it a syndrome . A syndrome is a group of problems, not an individual disease. These groups of problems have unique characteristics, and any one of them might be finding an effective treatment pathway, that helps us unravel the troubling problems caused by fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is a syndrome. It is, by its nature as a syndrome, not really a disease as people would know. When we talk about pain, pain is not a traditional disease. We heal, but do not always cure. Think of it like diabetes and hypertension. Fibromyalgia can be managed, but it needs to be managed differently than a standard disease. Remember, it is a syndrome. The pain is biological, psychological, and social. It affects all parameters, including even a spiritual or religious component. We call it biopsychosocial. We cannot separate these three because the brain will not separate those three. Fibromyalgia is a disease machine. It takes its own direction, and many people have their own personal experience.

For more information Pain and tenderness in the so-called "tender points" are the defining characteristics of fibromyalgia, so medical care providers focus on the features of the pain to distinguish it from other rheumatic disorders. Genetics also appear to play a role leading to a familial tendency to develop fibromyalgia. So does everyday life exposure to physical, emotional or environmental stressors that may trigger the initiation of fibromyalgia symptoms.

After all, I am not very interested in medications." Some patients with fibromyalgia make this or similar statements to their doctors because they are often younger and many do not have underlying (additional ongoing) medical conditions (although some do). Therefore, they are not accustomed to taking medications regularly. Are there really ways that patients can help themselves? Yes. Here are the big three...

Extractions: Revised: June 2004 Fibromyalgia syndrome is a common and chronic disorder characterized by widespread muscle pain, fatigue, and multiple tender points. The word fibromyalgia comes from the Latin term for fibrous tissue ( fibro ) and the Greek ones for muscle ( myo ) and pain ( algia Although fibromyalgia is often considered an arthritis-related condition, it is not truly a form of arthritis (a disease of the joints) because it does not cause inflammation or damage to the joints, muscles, or other tissues. Like arthritis, however, fibromyalgia can cause significant pain and fatigue, and it can interfere with a person's ability to carry on daily activities. Also like arthritis, fibromyalgia is considered a rheumatic condition. You may wonder what exactly rheumatic means. Even physicians do not always agree on whether a disease is considered rheumatic. If you look up the word in the dictionary, you'll find it comes from the Greek word
