Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a chronic (ongoing) condition of widespread pain, tenderness and fatigue. The word fibromyalgia comes from "fibro" - meaning fibers (connective tissue or muscle); "my" - muscle; "al" - pain; and "gia" - meaning the condition of. Thus, fibromyalgia literally means a condition of pain in the muscles and connective tissue fibers. However, individuals with fibromyalgia can and frequently do have pain anywhere in their body.
Fibromyalgia is a common syndrome that affects 2-4% of the U.S. population and is more commonly diagnosed in women than in men. It occurs more frequently during early and middle adulthood or during a woman's childbearing years.
