Fibromyalgia Q & A

What is fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is a condition that causes widespread pain in your body. Although scientists don’t completely understand what causes fibromyalgia, studies seem to show that this condition heightens your body’s pain sensations.

Fibromyalgia affects around 4 million adults across the US. It’s more common in women than men. In some cases, this condition develops immediately after a traumatic incident like a surgery or an accident. In others, the symptoms arise gradually.

What are the symptoms of fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia symptoms are far-reaching. The primary symptom is widespread pain and stiffness, which you may feel throughout your body. In addition to pain, fibromyalgia can cause:

Fatigue and sleep problems
Cognitive problems
Memory problems
Headaches
Depression
Anxiety

Many people with fibromyalgia also live with separate conditions that increase their pain, including:

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder
Irritable bowel syndrome
Interstitial cystitis
