Fibromyalgia symptoms

Fibromyalgia’s basic symptoms are similar to other illness that causes pain. For instance, musculoskeletal pain, joint pain, and other body pains can be caused by other illness that causes pain which are similar with Fibromyalgia. Therefore, diagnosis of Fibromyalgia can be challenging. But one thing is certain for Fibromyalgia, the pain travels all over the body. Almost all people with Fibromyalgia ache all over.

Fibromyalgia symptoms include:

• Pain: A chronic, dull ache that feels like burning, aching, soreness, or gnawing. It’s often widespread, affecting multiple areas of the body, including the arms, legs, head, chest, abdomen, back, and buttocks. The pain can feel like arthritis, but it doesn’t damage muscles or bones. 
• Fatigue: An overwhelming feeling of tiredness, even after a good night’s sleep. You might feel too tired to exercise or do simple tasks. 
• Sleep: getting to sleep or staying asleep. You might also have other sleep disorders, such as restless legs syndrome and sleep apnea. 
• Cognitive difficulties: Also known as “fibro fog”, this makes it hard to concentrate, pay attention, or remember things. 
• Other symptoms: Headaches, migraines, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), bladder control issues, anxiety, depression, dizziness, clumsiness, tingling, numbness, prickling, or burning sensations in your hands and feet. 

Symptoms of fibromyalgia can be changeable, sometimes improving or getting worse suddenly. There are no specific laboratory or imaging tests for fibromyalgia, but your doctor may use tests to rule out other conditions. Treatment can ease some of the symptoms, but they’re unlikely to disappear completely
