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.
