Fibromyalgia is a type of long-term syndrome that leaves that patient with many painful symptoms, mostly body pain and muscle tenderness.

Fibromyalgia sufferers experience pain in different areas of the body and it stays for many months.

Due to this ongoing feeling of pain, the FMS patient is always under stress and cannot get adequate sleep. Lack of adequate sleep creates additional symptoms for the patient.

Fibromyalgia currently affects over six million people in the United States and millions more worldwide. It causes chronic pain and debilitating fatigue, along with a host of other symptoms. For unknown reasons, between 80 and 90 percent of those diagnosed with fibromyalgia are women; however, men and children also can be affected. Most people are diagnosed during middle age, although the symptoms often become present earlier in life.

Fibromyalgia (sometimes also terms FMS) is a chronic pain disease where the patient experiences pain in all over his/her body. While the pain is all over, there are also certain spots on the body which are more sensitive to the slightest of pressure. The FMS disorder is an unusual condition whose causes have not been completely understood, and therefore, treatment of this disorder is not well defined. The disease impacts almost 3.7 million adult individuals in the United States.
