What Is Fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread pain throughout the body. This condition amplifies painful sensations by affecting the way your brain processes pain signals. While the exact cause of fibromyalgia is still unknown, it is often linked to genetic factors, infections, and physical or emotional trauma. People with fibromyalgia often experience a range of symptoms that can vary in intensity and frequency. Common symptoms include:

  • Widespread Pain – This is typically described as a constant, dull ache that lasts for at least three months. To be considered widespread, the pain must occur on both sides of the body and above and below the waist.
  • Fatigue –Despite sleeping for long periods, people with fibromyalgia often wake up feeling tired and unrefreshed.
  • Sleep Disturbances – Issues such as insomnia, sleep apnea, or restless legs syndrome can disrupt sleep, exacerbating fatigue and pain.
  • Tender Points – Specific areas of the body that are painful to touch, often found in clusters around the neck, shoulders, chest, hips, knees, and elbows.
  • Morning Stiffness – Many patients wake up feeling stiff and find it hard to move their muscles.
  • Cognitive Difficulties – Commonly referred to as "fibro fog," this symptom impairs the ability to focus, pay attention, and concentrate on mental tasks.
  • Additional Symptoms – Other symptoms can include headaches, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal problems like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
