What is Fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is widespread muscle and skeletal pain. Widespread is defined as pain occurring on the right and left sides of the body, above and below the waist, and along the spine. Localized pain also must occur in a majority of identified “tender points” all over the surface of the body.

 

Do I Have Fibromyalgia?

A patient must have several symptoms present so that the diagnosis of Fibromyalgia can be confirmed. Many patients have the symptoms but may not even know what Fibromyalgia is.  Others have been told by their MD that they "are on their way to having Fibromyalgia soon if nothing is done."
