fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that causes abnormal pain perception processing. Its distinctive features are widespread muscle pain and tenderness. Moreover, it may be accompanied by fatigue, sleep problems, and psychiatric issues. It is estimated that more than five million Americans over the age of 18 have fibromyalgia. In fact, it’s the second most common disorder that rheumatologists encounter.

Living with fibromyalgia means you’re dealing with a wide range of different symptoms each day. And one of the most common symptoms is a headache. Both headaches and migraines frequently affect fibromyalgia sufferers – so is there a connection between this symptom and the condition itself?
