What is Fibromyalgia

    Fibromyalgia (fi-bro-my-AL-ja) syndrome (FMS) produces chronic body-wide pain, which migrates and can be felt from head to toe. Other symptoms include persistent fatigue, headaches, cognitive or memory impairment, morning stiffness and non-restorative sleep. The pain can migrate from day to day. Recent scientific research studies have shown central nervous system involvement in FMS.

  • Over 6 million Americans, 90% of them women in the prime of their life, suffer from FMS and sometimes struggle for years before being correctly diagnosed.
  • Symptoms usually appear between 20-55 years of age, but children are also diagnosed with fibromyalgia syndrome.
  • Pain and severe fatigue may keep FMS sufferers from their chosen profession and unable to perform common daily tasks.
  • Fibromyalgia pain continues throughout a person’s lifetime.
