Fibromyalgia Information and Links
Fibromyalgia has only recently been used as a term to diagnose patients that
suffer from a particular series of abnormalities revolving around chronic
muscular irritation. The name Fibromyalgia alludes to painful fibrotic changes
in the muscle tissue, but has come to mean much more to the patients who suffer
with the syndrome. While no pathological changes in the muscle tissue have been
demonstrated on any type of imaging procedure, Fibromyalgia patients have very
tender muscular points which cause a great deal of pain. People who suffer with
Fibromyalgia may have a whole host of other symptoms including but not limited
to extreme fatigue, irritable bowl, headaches, insomnia, and depression. Even
through Fibromyalgia in itself is not life threatening, it can be very life
altering if not dealt with properly. While presently no one cure exists to
completely resolve Fibromyalgia, understanding the disease can go a long way to
helping cope and live a normal lifestyle with it.
Some physicians have speculated that Fibromyalgia begins with the
Mononucleosis virus, and followed by the lingering Epstein's bar virus. It has
also been noted that many Fibromyalgia patients have had a recent heavy
emotional or physical trauma prior to the onset of the disease. Fibromyalgia
patients have also been known to not get into the deepest phase of sleep, known
as the delta stage, and therefore do not let their muscles shut down and rest
properly. It is also possible that a combination of these explanations may
combine to cause a person to acquire Fibromyalgia.
