Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia Health Center
Fibromyalgia is a chronic myofascial (muscular) pain syndrome that typically causes generalized back pain and muscle pain and causes specific areas of the body to become tender to the touch. Though it is similar to arthritis, it does not cause the same inflammation. Fibromyalgia sufferers are often victims of severe fatigue, sleep problems and insomnia, stiff joints, headaches and depression.
