Approximately 10 million Americans suffer from fibromyalgia. This is a very common condition. There are people who don’t even know they exist. There are doctors who don’t recognize fibromyalgia in patients and often misdiagnose it.
It is very important to know the presence of this disease in order to get rid of pain and unpleasant symptoms.
There is no cure for this condition, but certain medications, cognitive behavioral therapy, and gentle exercise can help.
When people hear about fibromyalgia, the first thing that comes to mind is muscle pain.
People with fibromyalgia experience many other problems besides pain to the touch. It is a condition that affects their emotional, mental and physical health.
CAUSES AND DIAGNOSIS
It is still not clear what causes fibromyalgia. You cannot prevent this condition, but you can control it. You just need to know that you have it.
There is no specific test that doctors use to diagnose fibromyalgia. The doctor only asks if the patient has any of the following symptoms.
The doctor also performs various tests and methods such as antinuclear antibodies, blood tests, rheumatoid factor, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, thyroid test, MRI, X-ray, etc.
Here are the most common symptoms. If you notice some of them, please contact a specialist.
