About
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterised by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbance, and cognitive difficulties ('fibro fog'). It is thought to involve altered pain processing in the central nervous system rather than structural tissue damage. Fibromyalgia is often comorbid with depression, anxiety, and IBS, and diagnosis requires ruling out other conditions.
What it feels like
Widespread aching pain throughout the body lasting more than three months
Specific tender points at characteristic locations
Persistent fatigue and unrefreshing sleep
Cognitive difficulties — memory, concentration, and word-finding problems
Increased sensitivity to touch, temperature, sound, and light
When to get help
See a doctor before self-treating — fibromyalgia diagnosis requires excluding other conditions (inflammatory arthritis, thyroid disease, lupus) that present similarly. Seek prompt assessment for new neurological symptoms or joint swelling, which are not typical of fibromyalgia.
