Fighting Your Worst Fibromyalgia Pain.

Fibromyalgia (FMS) is a widespread musculoskeletal pain and fatigue disorder that affects the fibrous tissues throughout the bodies of men and women of all ages.

Most patients say they ache all over. They may complain of sporadic twitching and burning sensations.

You may have great difficulty sleeping and feel sluggish when you awaken. You may feel as if your personal power supply has been unplugged.

Most FMS patients have a sleep disorder where deep sleep is constantly interrupted by bursts of awakening brain activity. You may also suffer from sleep myoclunus, restless leg syndrome and bruxism, or teeth-grinding.

Frequent headaches and irritable bowel symptoms are also common. You may experience constant or intermittent symptoms of TMJ (seen in 90 percent of FMS patients), along with sporadic bouts of intense, acute facial pain.

About half of FMS patients also have multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS) to odors, foods, noises, bright lights and various medications. Other common symptoms include painful menses or dysmenorrhea, chest pains, cognitive difficulties, memory loss or other impairments, irritable bladder, dizziness, numbness, tingling sensations and impaired coordination.

The symptoms of FMS are so similar to chronic fatigue syndrome, some researchers believe the two conditions may actually be one and the same, if not closely related.

FMS revolves around many issues that are neither simply medical nor medically simple.
