General Health Information

Not everyone but perhaps only a few knows what causes the painful
disorder of fibromyalgia. This is a chronic condition characterized by
fatigue, widespread pain in your muscles, ligaments and tendons, and
multiple tender points. There are plenty of theories and all are being
researched and tested, but it’s still pretty unclear about the true
cause. This disorder is characterized by extreme fatigue that occurs no
matter how much rest the patient receives. One theory is that sleep
disorders can lead to fibromyalgia.
Another of the most common symptoms is varying degrees of pain in the
body, primarily focused on the head, upper back and chest, and in the
hips, knees, and elbows. Each pain attack can last from a few days to a
few months each time.
