Fibromyalgia Syndrome Fms

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread muscle pain, fatigue, and tender points. It is more common in women. While the cause is unknown, it is thought to involve increased sensitivity in the brain to pain signals. Symptoms vary but include muscle pain, fatigue, sleep issues, headaches, and numbness. There is no lab test to diagnose it, but diagnosis involves a history of widespread pain for over 3 months and tender points in specific areas. Treatments focus on reducing pain and improving sleep and function through medications and lifestyle changes.
