Thefibromyalgia was recognized by the American Medical Association in 1987 as a
disease. It is associated with chronic pain disorders. Fibromyalgia is also
known as fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). In most cases, fibromyalgia occurs
between the ages of 25 and 55 and is less common in younger adults. Women are
more likely to suffer from fibromyalgia than men. Women aged 20 to 50 years are
the most affected. Individuals suffering from fibromyalgia have a low pain
threshold. Reducing the pain threshold for people suffering from fibromyalgia
is due to increased sensitivity of the brain to pain symptoms. Although
fibromyalgia is associated with arthritis, actually it is not arthritis,
because it does not inflammation and damage the tissues and joints, but it
causes a lot of pain and fatigue in patients. Fibromyalgia disrupts daily
activity of patients. This disease does not reduce the longevity of patients. Fibromyalgia
does not cause any other illness, but it affects the functioning of the
patients in the house and in the workplace because of the pain and the lack of
sleep.
