Fibromyalgia (FM)
What are the symptoms?
Along with muscle and soft tissue pain, individuals with fibromyalgia (FM) may experience many other signs and symptoms that can make the disorder unbearable.
Some of the most common symptoms include:
- Chronic headaches and migraines
- Memory problems
- Fatigue
- Gastrointestinal complications (diarrhea, bloating, cramping)
- Morning stiffness
- Memory problems
- Painful menstruation
- Nerve Pain
- Tingling and numbness in the hands and feet
- Temperature sensitivity
- Trouble sleeping
This long list of signs and symptoms often makes it difficult to accurately diagnose fibromyalgia as it is often confused with other diseases and conditions such as arthritis and lupus. It often takes time for a physician to accurately recognize and diagnose fibromyalgia. This can contribute significantly to the pain, frustration, and depression often felt by the individual suffering from FM.
