fibromyalgiasta

Fibromyalgiasta is a chronic condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues. Researchers believe that fibromyalgia amplifies painful sensations by affecting the way the brain and spinal cord process pain signals. Symptoms often begin after a physical trauma, surgery, infection or significant psychological stress. In other cases, symptoms gradually appear over time with no single triggering event.

Symptoms can vary in intensity and frequency. Besides pain and fatigue, people with fibromyalgia may experience: headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, depression, anxiety, and stiffness. The pain is often described as a constant dull ache that has lasted for at least three months. Pain in fibromyalgia is widespread, meaning it affects both sides of your body, as well as above and below your waist.

Diagnosis of fibromyalgia is based on a history of widespread pain and the presence of other symptoms. There is no cure for fibromyalgia, but a variety of treatments can help manage symptoms. Treatments include medications, such as pain relievers and antidepressants, as well as lifestyle modifications like exercise, stress reduction techniques, and improved sleep hygiene. A multidisciplinary approach involving healthcare professionals, including doctors, physical therapists, and mental health specialists, is often recommended for effective management.
