Fibromyalgia is a serious condition that affects as many as one in every 50 Americans. Fibromyalgia is usually characterized by widespread pain and tenderness throughout the body. Many people with fibromyalgia also suffer from other symptoms such as fatigue, non-restorative sleep, and difficulty concentrating or poor memory.
People with fibromyalgia often have difficulty sustaining employment due to frequent flare-ups and they have good days and bad days. Fibromyalgia can be difficult to diagnose because the condition does not show up with medical testing such as a blood test or an MRI.
