Fibromyalgia (fye-bro-my-AL-jah) is a syndrome
characterized by long-lasting widespread pain and tenderness at
specific points on the body. The term “fibromyalgia” means pain in
the muscles, ligaments and tendons. Although not defining
characteristics, sleep disturbances and fatigue are also integral
symptoms of fibromyalgia.

syndrome (CFS).
Mayo
Clinic - FibromyalgiaFibromyalgia is a disorder
characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by
fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues. Researchers believe that
fibromyalgia amplifies painful sensations by affecting the way your
brain processes pain signals.
Symptoms sometimes begin after a physical trauma, surgery,
infection or significant psychological stress. In other cases,
symptoms gradually accumulate over time with no single triggering
event.
Women are much more likely to develop fibromyalgia than are
men. Many people who have fibromyalgia also have tension headaches,
temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, irritable bowel syndrome,
anxiety and depression.
