Fibromyalgia is defined as a condition characterized by pain affecting the entire body, especially focusing on the muscles, bones, joints and tendons. This condition may be sometimes linked to arthritis, but since it doesn’t cause actual inflammation of the joints or muscles – only pain and discomfort – it is only considered a rheumatic condition. The pain caused by fibromyalgia is chronic and there is no absolute cure for this condition. Other common manifestations include fatigue, mood swings, depression, sleep deprivation etc. Fibromyalgia can affect both men and women of almost all ages and it affects the normal processing of pain signals by the brain.
