Fibromyalgia (disease) -The pain can be in one place or all over. The exact locations of the pain are called tender points. It is a terrible disease. It doesn't cause death like most cancers, but it does cause pain and you inherit other medical problems with this disease. Like panic disorder, sleep apnea, fatigue, tension headaches, memory problems, muscle pain, osteoarthritis, constipation, urinary problems and depression are just some. Instead of pain in the bones like Arthritis, Fibromyalgia pain is in the muscle so you get constant muscle pain. I sometime get muscle spasms in my back especially around my shoulder blade. I've been suffering with this disease for over 30 years, before the doctors could tell me what it is. My doctors first thought my health problems was all in my head then finally after seeing a Rheumotologist Specialist. I was diagnose in 1991. But before that it was constant visits to the doctors and chiroprators trying to help relieve my pain that may have been in my head. Now here it is 2008 thery are showing commercial about a new medicine call Lyrica that is suppose to help people with Fibromyalgia. I'm taking Lyrica and it is helping a little, but not a lot. I guess since I've been suffering for so long that this medicine may not help me as much as it would help some of you who has just been diagnose. Then their are the side effect from new medicines. Don't you just hate side effect. Also, more women get this disease then men or children and it is hereditary. So their is a chance your children or sibling may have it too. So if you know someone with Fibromyalgia. Give them a big hug but be gentle, because hugs can hurt us too, even though we need them.
By the way their is no cure.
