Fibromyalgia Relief

So what is fibromyalgia? Quite simply put, its a disease that affects the bones and muscles. Doctors don’t know what causes the disease yet; however, there is some evidence that it is caused because the brain receives pain signals improperly, resulting in amplification of sensation. Genetics may play a role, as well. Women seem to develop fibromyalgia more often than men and people who are less active or suffer from post-traumatic stress syndrome.

Unfortunately, there is no definitive test to diagnose fibromyalgia; instead, doctors may use extensive testing to rule out other conditions based on the nature of the symptoms and form a diagnosis. Regardless of the cause, the symptoms are debilitating, to say the least.
