Fibromyalgia is, unfortunately, a common issue which affects 3-5 million people, or 1 in every five people.
This syndrome is characterized by debilitating pain in the entire body. Yet, chronic muscle pain does not necessarily mean that you suffer from fibromyalgia, as this condition leads to other symptoms as well.
Yet, if your muscles ache all of the time, you need to check the list of fibromyalgia symptoms and see if you need to find a proper treatment or you can rule out fibromyalgia as a potential cause.
Fibromyalgia symptoms :
Muscle and Body Tissues
Muscle Twitching
Morning stiffness
Swelling
Mild to severe pain that may move around to different parts of the body
Tender and lumpy breasts (Fibrocystic breasts, as an overlapping condition)
Sleep Problems
Fatigue
Grinding teeth
Muscle twitching even while sleeping
Having the sensation of falling while sleeping (“Sleep Starts”)
Difficulty sleeping/broken sleeping pattern, leaving you feeling tired and lethargic each morning as opposed to refreshed.
