Fibromyalgia SyndromeFibromyalgia means pain in the muscles, ligaments, and tendons the soft fibrous tissues in the body. Some other problems commonly linked to fibromyalgia include fatigue, morning stiffness, sleep problems, headaches, numbness in hands and feet, depression, and anxiety. Fibromyalgia is more common in women than in men. Previously, the condition was known by other names such as fibrositis, chronic muscle pain syndrome, psychogenic rheumatism and tension myalgias. Fibromyalgia can develop on its own, or secondary to other musculoskeletal conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, or systemic lupus. Women between 20 and 60 years of age are most at risk. The cause of FMS is unknown, but factors that may contribute to its development include sleep disturbances, psychological stress, changes in muscle metabolism and abnormalities in a person's immune, endocrine, or nervous systems. However, the significant swelling, destruction, and deformity of joints seen in diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis does not occur with fibromyalgia syndrome alone. Fibromyalgia sufferers tend to wake up with body aches and stiffness. Although the intensity of your symptoms may vary, they'll probably never disappear completely. It may be reassuring to know, however, that fibromyalgia isn't progressive, crippling or life-threatening. Treatments and self-care steps can improve symptoms and your general health.
