Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain syndrome characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and tenderness in localized areas. While the exact cause of fibromyalgia remains unclear, it is believed to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. Many individuals with fibromyalgia also experience associated conditions such as anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances.

Symptoms of Fibromyalgia

Symptoms can vary widely among individuals but commonly include:

• Widespread Pain: Persistent pain that can affect multiple areas of the body, often described as a dull ache.
• Fatigue: Chronic tiredness that can interfere with daily activities and quality of life.
• Sleep Disturbances: Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or experiencing restful sleep.
• Cognitive Issues: Often referred to as “fibro fog,” this includes problems with memory, concentration, and mental clarity.
• Tender Points: Specific areas of sensitivity, often located around the neck, shoulders, back, hips, and limbs.
