What is Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread pain in your muscles, ligaments and tendons, as well
as fatigue and multiple tender points — places on your body where slight pressure causes pain. Women are much
more likely to develop the disorder than are men, and the risk of fibromyalgia increases with age.
Symptoms
Fibromyalgia symptoms often begin after a physical or emotional trauma, but in many cases there appears to be no
triggering event. Signs and symptoms of fibromyalgia can vary, depending on the weather, stress, physical activity or
even the time of day.
• Widespread pain and tender points
• Fatigue and sleep disturbances.
• Co-existing conditions
Causes
Doctors don't know what causes fibromyalgia, but it most likely involves a variety of factors working together. These may
include:
• Genetics
• Infections.
• Physical or emotional trauma
Western medicine treatment
In general, treatments for fibromyalgia include both medication and self-care. The emphasis is on minimizing
symptoms and improving general health. Some of the treatments include:
• Analgesics
• Anti-inflammatory drugs
• Antidepressants
• Anti-seizure drugs
• Physical therapy
• Counseling
Alternative Medicine
There is a significant progress using alternative medicine in this area.
