What is fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is a complex chronic pain condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and cognitive difficulties, often referred to as "fibro fog." While the exact cause of fibromyalgia is unknown, it's believed to involve abnormalities in the way the brain and spinal cord process pain signals, as well as alterations in neurotransmitter levels and immune system function.
Common Symptoms of Fibromyalgia include:
-
Persistent, widespread pain that affects muscles, ligaments, and tendons throughout the body, often described as a deep, dull ache.
-
Profound fatigue and exhaustion, even after adequate rest or sleep, leading to decreased energy levels and difficulty performing daily activities.
-
Sleep disturbances such as insomnia, non-restorative sleep, or restless leg syndrome, contributing to daytime fatigue and cognitive impairment.
-
Cognitive difficulties, often referred to as "fibro fog," including problems with memory, concentration, and word recall.
-
Mood disorders such as depression and anxiety are common in individuals with fibromyalgia, possibly due to the chronic pain and associated limitations on daily functioning.
-
Other symptoms may include headaches, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, and sensitivity to light, noise, and temperature changes.
