What Is Fibromyalgia..?

     Fibromyalgia is a recent term used to describe people that have certain types of pain - and a lot of other symptoms with it. Pain, however, is the primary symptom of fibromyalgia (FMS)...

     When describing the pain associated with fibromyalgia, those who have it speak of it in different ways. Some identify it as being a tingling, but others may say it is a general achiness, muscle spasms, and others may point to a weakness of the limbs...

     They also say that it varies from day to day in both intensity and location...

     Pain is also very evident whenever certain tender points are even slightly touched. This can produce a lot of pain and it may be described as shooting, stabbing, or even throbbing...

     The presence of pain in these tender points is necessary in order to get a diagnosis of fibromyalgia...

     Other symptoms that may be present include fatigue. The fatigue can be rather strong at times. So strong, in fact, that some doctors think that fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) are the same thing...

     Another thing for which fibromyalgia is known for is something called fibrofog. Fibrofog is simply a term coined to refer to the mental fogginess that often occurs with FMS...

     At times, fibrofog makes it very difficult for someone with fibromyalgia to be able to think clearly at all, making it hard to focus, recall things, or to make decisions...

     Short-term memory is often so strongly affected that the sufferer may not even remember what was just said by someone he or she is talking to – making a normal conversation impossible...

     There are many other symptoms that are widespread and make it very uncomfortable for anyone who has FMS. The cause of fibromyalgia is still not known and there are a number of opinions and thinking about what causes it...

     Best of all, though, is that it can be treated with natural means. This includes both dietary and lifestyle changes...
