Awareness. fibroduckfoundation/ What Is Fibromyalgia? Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition of widespread pain and profound fatigue. The pain tends to be felt as diffuse aching or burning, often described as head to toe. It may be worse at some times than at others. It may also change location, usually becoming more severe in parts of the body that are used most. The fatigue ranges from feeling tired, to the exhaustion of a flu-like illness. It may come and go and people can suddenly feel drained of all energy – as if someone just “pulled the plug”. If symptoms are severe, however, people may not be able to hold down a paying job or enjoy much of a social life. The name fibromyalgia is made up from “fibro” for fibrous tissues such as tendons and ligaments; “my” indicating muscles; and “algia” meaning pain. Besides pain and fatigue fibromyalgia symptoms often include: Unrefreshing sleep – waking up tired and stiff Headaches – ranging from ordinary types to migraine Irritable bowel – alternating diarrhoea and constipation, sometimes accompanied by Gas in the abdomen or nausea Cognitive disturbances including lack of concentration, temporary memory Impairment and word mix up Clumsiness and dizziness Sensitivity to changes in the weather and to noise, bright lights, smoke and other environmental factors Allergies youtu.be/O15tHO0VzVM
