Understanding Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and tenderness throughout the body. While the exact cause remains unknown, research suggests that Fibromyalgia amplifies painful sensations by affecting how your brain and spinal cord process pain signals.
Common symptoms of Fibromyalgia include:
- Widespread pain and tender points throughout the body that persist for three months or longer
- Chronic fatigue and sleep disturbances, including waking up feeling unrefreshed
- Cognitive difficulties, often referred to as “fibro fog,” affecting memory and focus
- Morning stiffness and reduced mobility in joints and muscles
- Heightened sensitivity to temperature, loud noises, or bright lights
