What is Fibromyalgia? Fibromyalgia (FM) is a complex chronic pain illness that can lead to significant patient disability. The fact that there is no known cause or cure for fibromyalgia challenges patients and healthcare professionals alike. It is estimated that FM affects approximately six to eight million Americans and 5% of the world's population. Patients with fibromyalgia suffer from a variety of symptoms ranging from stiffness, muscle spasms and body wide pain, fatigue and severe sleep disturbances. "The answer to the mystery of fibromyalgia probably lies in the field of neurobiology, the study of the nervous system and its interactions with the rest of the body. Until physicians can be persuaded to take the condition seriously, to stop ignoring the medical evidence, and stop dismissing it as "just another woman's thing," all we will be able to do is treat the symptoms. Too many doctors decline to do even that." ~ Thomas W. Shinder, MD The Fibromyalgia Syndrome: It's Not All In Your Head - Copyright © Thomas W.
