My research on what Fibromyalgia is ?

My research on what Fibromyalgia is ? By: Ken Crowe I was ask to give information on Fibromyalgia. Not knowing that much about this disease, my self I thought it was time to do some research. I found a lot of information on this condition, but there is not enough room here to tell you everything I learned about this problem disease. This is the best description I can come up with, as far as what Fibromyalgis is. Later I will give some some more information as to some of the things they think might cause this condition and tell you some of the treaments that are being used at this time to help control this disease. There is no cure known at this time but there are some good treatments that will help the symptoms. Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition causing pain, stiffness, and tenderness of the muscles, tendons, and joints. Fibromyalgia is also characterized by restless sleep, awakening feeling tired, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and disturbances in bowel function. Fibromyalgia was formerly known as fibrositis. While fibromyalgia is one of the most common diseases affecting the muscles, its cause is currently unknown. The painful tissues involved are not accompanied by tissue inflammation. Therefore, despite potentially disabling body pain, patients with fibromyalgia do not develop body damage or deformity. Fibromyalgia also does not cause damage to internal body organs. Therefore, fibromyalgia is different from many other rheumatic conditions (such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus, and polymyositis). In those diseases, tissue inflammation is the major cause of pain, stiffness and tenderness of the joints, tendons and muscles, and it can lead to joint deformity and damage to the internal organs or muscles. I hope you find this information helpful in understanding this disease and the people affected by Fibromyalgia.
