What is fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is a condition characterized by chronic widespread body pain, fatigue, and heightened sensitivity to touch. It is often accompanied by other symptoms including impaired cognition, sleep disturbances, headaches and irritable bowel syndrome. Fibromyalgia has no known cause but it is believed the origins of this disorder stem from the central nervous system and its response to stress and mood changes. Diagnosis may include an evaluation of health history or physical exam with tender points which are areas on the body that are usually painful when pressed. Treatment may involve lifestyle changes like exercise, relaxation training, medication and cognitive behavior therapy.
