Is Fibromyalgia A REAL Health Concern?
Sometimes, people ask if Fibromyalgia is a real health condition, with genuine concerns associated with it. The Answer is YES! Fibromyalgia is real and is a type of soft-tissue rheumatism.
Causes, Symptoms, and Signs of Fibromyalgia
The cause of this disorder is unknown. Physical or emotional trauma may play a role in development of the syndrome. A number of lines of evidence suggest that fibromyalgia patients have abnormal pain transmission responses.
It has been suggested that sleep disturbances, which are common in fibromyalgia patients, may actually cause the condition.
Treatment and Expectations of Fibromyalgia
In mild cases, symptoms may go away when stress is decreased or lifestyle changes are implemented. A combination of treatments including medications, patient education, physical therapy, and counseling are usually recommended. Many fibromyalgia sufferers have found support groups helpful.

"Nobody Understands!"
Many of us often think with dismay that "nobody knows what we are going through." This is probably correct. The casual observer is unlikely to perceive the depth of our pain or fatigue through our behavior or appearance. And our friends, try as they may, often feel confused by our seemingly strange array of complaints.
Fibromyalgia
Until recently, fibromyalgia was considered an adult disorder; children were thought not to get it. Then, in a study published in the Journal of Rheumatology in 1993, a team of doctors in Israel reported that 6.2 percent of 338 healthy schoolchildren between the ages of nine and 15 met the criteria for the fibromyalgia syndrome.
