Fibromyagia can best be characterized as a habitual state of pain due to disruption in the signals of nerves. Fibromyalgia, or FM, is an intricate malady with a diverse range of symptoms that can come and go with no warning, which makes it hard to recognize and treat. Physicians and experts have estimated that about 10 million Americans have FM, most of them are women.
Fibromyalgia is hard to identify because the symptoms are very similar to those of other disorders, and even often coexist with disorders. Common symptoms of fibromyalgia include:
As of today, there are three medications approved to treat FM. Seeing as there is only three medications approved, there is a lot more research that needs to be conducted over FM. Treatment is primarily focused on the treatment of pain because there is no known cure for FM. Due to the constant pain experienced by those with FM, it leads to them being withdrawn from friend and family and can eventually lead to depression.
