What Are Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder that causes widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and tenderness in specific areas of the body. It affects how the brain and spinal cord process pain signals, leading to increased pain sensitivity. Other common symptoms include difficulty sleeping, cognitive issues often called "fibro fog," and mood disturbances like anxiety or depression.
The exact cause remains unclear, but it’s thought to involve genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. Fibromyalgia can affect anyone but is most common in women. Diagnosis is based on symptoms and physical examination.
