Fibromyalgia, also called fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), is a long-term condition that causes pain all over the body.
Fibromyalgia is a long-term condition that involves widespread body pain. The pain happens along with fatigue. It also can involve issues with sleep, memory and mood. Researchers think that fibromyalgia affects the way the brain and spinal cord process painful and nonpainful signals. That increases your overall sensitivity to pain.
Fibromyalgia was first recognised in the 1950s, and defined in 1990, with updated criteria in 2011, 2016, and 2019.
Fibromyalgia is estimated to affect 2 to 4% of the population. Women are affected more than men.Rates appear similar across areas of the world and among varied cultures.
There’s no cure for fibromyalgia. But medicines and other treatments can help control the symptoms. Exercise, talk therapy and techniques that lower stress also may help.
These fibromyalgia quotes and messages will help you learn more about it, its symptoms, and ways to manage it.
Here are fibromyalgia quotes to help you simply survive today and greet tomorrow with some grace and gratitude.
