Fibromyalgia is a common condition in which a patient suffers long-term pain that affects different parts of the body. The pain can be linked to sleep problems, depression, fatigue, and anxiety. People with this disease can also experience tenderness in the muscles, tendons, and joints.

&nbsp;
The cause of fibromyalgia is still unknown. Scientists say it can be physical trauma, sleep disturbances, abnormal pain response, or infection. Fibromyalgia most often affects women age 15 to 50. People with this disease wake up at night experiencing stiffness and body aches. Some patients feel pain only at night. Some people have severe pain all day long.

&nbsp;
The most common symptom is problems with sleep and patients say they feel tired when they wake up. The pain can get worse with cold, physical activity, stress, and anxiety. If you experience symptoms of fibromyalgia, you should contact your healthcare provider. The treatment will help relieve pain and other symptoms.

Conditions

"Condition" is a general term for particular abnormal diseases that negatively affect a part or all of the body. Conditions are not due to any external injury. Therefore, a broken bone does not classify as a condition, whereas Herpes, OCD, Shingles, and Ulcers do.

Medical conditions are classified by specific symptoms and signs. While each person's experiences can vary, there are consistent signs and symptoms that doctors will look for when diagnosing their patients. We always recommend that people seek a professional diagnosis. Afterward, supplement medical advice and opinion with accurate and easy to read information.

Most people only spend an average of a couple minutes with their doctor during a checkup. Oftentimes patients don't receive the fullest explanation of their diagnosis.
