Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that affects millions of people globally, characterized by widespread chronic pain, fatigue, and cognitive issues.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines fibromyalgia as a rheumatic disease due to its impact on the muscles, joints, and bones.
What is Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is a complex condition marked by chronic pain, poor sleep, cognitive function issues, and increased pain sensitivity.
It is classified as a chronic pain condition and affects various body systems, leading to symptoms such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), mood disorders, and sleep maintenance issues.
Unlike other rheumatic conditions, fibromyalgia does not cause damage to the muscles or joints but instead affects how the brain processes pain signals, amplifying the sensation of discomfort.
Fibromyalgia affects roughly 4 million adults in the U.S., accounting for about 2% of the population.
Although the exact cause of fibromyalgia remains unclear, the condition can be effectively managed and treated with the right approaches.
