Fibromyalgia is real disease, despite what many people – both within and outside of the medical community believe. It is a complicated condition whose root cause(s) are not known. Those who have it experience pain more intensely and often have poor sleep, chronic tiredness and varying degrees of depression and/or anxiety.
I am not an expert in fibromyalgia but do have a lot experience in working with patients who have it.
While there is no specific test or scan that can formally diagnose it, there are treatments that help treat Fibromyalgia – including prescription medicines and non-drug therapies.
Below are some good websites where you can learn more.
National Fibromyalgia Association (probably the best on-line resource for non-clinicians)
The American College of Rheumatology
