About 10 million Americans are affected by fibromyalgia. It is a very common condition. There are even people who have it but aren’t aware of its presence. There are also doctors who can’t recognize fibromyalgia in a patient and often misdiagnose him/her.

It’s very important to know whether you have this condition so that you could relieve yourself from the pain as well as the unpleasant symptoms.

The condition can’t be cured, but some medicines, cognitive-behavioral therapies as well as gentle exercise can help you.

Muscle pain is the first thing that people think of when they hear about fibromyalgia.

People with fibromyalgia also feel tenderness to touch which spreads throughout their body as well as many other problems. This is a condition that affects their emotional, mental physical health.
