Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, and tenderness in specific areas of the body. It often affects sleep, memory, and mood, making daily activities challenging for those who suffer from it. The exact cause of fibromyalgia is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors.
Diagnosis typically involves ruling out other conditions, as there are no definitive tests for fibromyalgia. Treatment often includes a combination of medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
