What is fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is a condition characterized by chronic widespread deep pain and hypersensitivity of the muscles and soft tissues (tendons and ligaments). It may also be accompanied by sleep disturbances, profound fatigue, depression, anxiety, loss of memory and concentration. The permanent deep pain affects the daily activity of the patient.

The pain caused by fibromyalgia is often misdiagnosed or confused with disorders of rheumatic origin and therefore unsuitable treatments are recommended without results.

It is not known the exact cause of this chronic disease that affects more women than men.

So often in the medical world, Fibromyalgia is not even considered a disease even if the patient is severely afflicted and debilitated by it. In fact, Fibromyalgia is a chronic disease that causes localized pain and weakness throughout the body: muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, etc.

Unlike arthritis, Fibromyalgia is not caused by inflammation and the joints themselves are not directly affected (the fact that the pain is located in tendons makes the sufferer not to think of articular pains but a form of rheumatism).

Patients suffering from this disease describe the pain as accompanied by itching and burning and the onset of pain itself cannot be predicted.

The severity of pain is different from day to day and in different parts of the body. In some patients, the pain can be so strong as to cause physical disabilities, while others may appear like weak, diffused pain that give the feeling of comorbidity / discomfort.

The weakness caused by Fibromyalgia is different from one day to another, from one patient to another and from hour to hour of the day.

As symptomatology, in addition to the pain and weakness, the following symptoms may also appear permanently, or on alternate days:

• Sleep disorders: leading to a lack of rest whitch is necessary for the body.
• Rigidity of the body (one of the biggest problems of patients suffering from Fibromyalgia) “stiffness” in an uncomfortable position, stiffness  at the time of awakening, etc.
• Headache and facial pain that may occur in the neck or shoulder area, or may be associated with pain in the muscles of the temporal-mandibular joints.
• Abdominal discomfort: The symptoms of fibromyalgia also includes digestive disorders, abdominal pain, diarrhea alternating with constipation. Stiffness and /or pruritus known by the term paresthesia ( unpleasant sensations of numbness, pricking and sunburn) most often felt in the extremities.
• Pain in the chest region. Medical term Costochondralgia, which means that the muscles involved are in the area where the ribs meet the sternum. Due to the fact that the Costochondralgia may be confused with heart pain and vice versa, it is important that the patient also consult a cardiologist.
• Mental Focus. People with fibromyalgia often complain of memory lapses, confusion of words during a conversation or while writing, tremors, and inability to be able to hold things in their hands.
• Loss of balance. Patients also complain of problems relating to the maintenance of balance and dizziness. Difficulties appear in orientation, driving a car, and also reading a book.
• Increased sensitivity due to some environment factors. Reactions appear similar to allergic reactions to different environmental factors (light, noise, odors, various substances, etc. ).
