Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a condition that impacts the pain receptors of the brain and spinal cord and causes widespread musculoskeletal pain. The pain is accompanied by tiredness, joint pain, fatigue, drowsiness, and mood swings.

Females are at a higher risk of developing this condition and it is usually triggered by some traumatic event such as an accident or surgery and psychological stress. However, it develops gradually and there’s no single symptom that can be associated with it solely as its defining characteristic. One of the unique things is specific locations on the body that, when pressed, hurt. There are multiple symptoms that develop along with pain such as joint disorders, headaches, mood disorders, and even depression.

A variety of medications can help control symptoms. Exercise, relaxation, and stress-reduction measures also may help.

Symptoms

Pain: In order for it to be classified as fibromyalgia, the pain needs to last for a minimum of three months and should affect both sides of the body.
