Fibromyalgia can be better correlated with Amavata than rheumatism based on symptoms. Amavata and fibromyalgia share key features - widespread persistent pain, stiffness, fatigue, non-refreshing sleep, cognitive difficulties, tenderness at specific points, and accompanying symptoms like mood issues.

Treatment of both focuses on correcting digestion and metabolism, reducing stress, and lifestyle modifications.
