Fibromyalgia is an increasingly recognized chronic pain illness which is characterized by widespread musculoskeletal aches, pain and stiffness, soft tissue tenderness, general fatigue and sleep disturbances. The most common sites of pain include the neck, back, shoulders, pelvic girdle and hands, but any body part can be involved. Fibromyalgia patients experience a range of symptoms of varying intensities that wax and wane over time.
- 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.
