Fibromyalgia syndrome is a chronic and complex condition that causes widespread pain and profound fatigue, as well as a variety of other accompanying symptoms.
The primary factor in diagnosing fibromyalgia is widespread pain throughout the body that lasts for at least three months. To meet the criteria, pain must be present in at least the following five areas: the upper left region, including the shoulder, arm, or jaw.
Dr. Rodríguez Moyano states in his book, "Manual of Fibromyalgia," that toxic-dietary processes and chronic viral infections are the main causes of this disease.
He identifies the systems that produce fibromyalgia:
Pain and stiffness throughout the body
97% of patients experience deep, sharp, throbbing pain throughout the body, affecting ligaments, muscles, and tendons.
Occasionally, some people experience stiffness in the body, similar to inflammatory or rheumatoid arthritis. Sometimes the symptoms disappear in 10-15 minutes, and other times they last all day or part of it.
Fatigue and tiredness caused by fibromyalgia
People with fibromyalgia commonly suffer from exhaustion and extreme fatigue, as the duration of the symptoms is so long that they feel like they have a cold, unable to move normally in even basic and simple tasks.
Sleep problems
The physical and mental state of the syndrome hinders sleep regeneration, making it difficult to fall asleep. It is sufficient and disrupted due to irregular brain activity. Therefore, if you don't get enough sleep, fatigue is not the only consequence; it also affects your mental and physical health, thinking, and daily life.
