You may have seen commercials on television lately referring to a condition called Fibromyalgia, or perhaps you are one of the unfortunate sufferers of the condition. Still holding a great deal of controversy, Fibromyalgia is classified as an “all over pain.” Tadalis SX The condition once called by several different diagnoses, including muscular rheumatism, fibrositis, psychogenic rheumatism, and neurasthenia, is now more widely recognized, but not fully accepted by all in the medical community.

Fibromyalgia, which comes from the combination of three words- “fibra” meaning fiber, “myro” meaning muscle, and “algos” for pain- was first studied in the late 1970’s. Yet, still, as late at the 1990’s it was referred to as a “controversial condition,” and though there are a number of treatments and clinics that address the condition, it really is still highly disputed today. Mostly because there are no definitive tests, and though there are many medications available to provide relief to sufferers, the source of the pain is not understood.

Studies have found that while the disease does not appear to be progressive- it is not fatal- it has shown signs of progressing over time- it worsens as the patient ages. The symptoms include:

Pain and Morning Stiffness

Though many patients complain that the pain is worse in certain areas of the body, all report that there are tender points all over the body.

Anxiety and Depression

These can accompany the condition for many people. It is disputed whether these are the underlying cause or a result of living in pain.

Concentration and memory problems

This issue is common among fibromyalgia patients, which is why it has been nicknamed “fibro fog.”

Sleep Problems and Fatigue

Sleep is difficult when a person is in pain and because the body has difficulty resting, the patient will often complain of ongoing fatigue.

Headaches

It is thought by some that these are a result of tension in the muscles as they react to the pain.

Irritable bowel syndrome

Some report problems with this condition, which is characterized by pain in the abdomen and abnormal bowel movements.

Swelling, numbness, and tingling

This can present in the hands, arms, feet, and legs, or any combination of those.

Urinary symptoms

Many report urinary problems as well. Trouble going, frequent going, and urinary incontinence.

The ongoing dispute about the validity of Fibromyalgia as a medical condition is partially due to the large number and wide spread nature of the symptoms. But, the mystery does not end there.

Some researchers believe that there exist subgroups within in the Fibromyalgia field. This theory suggests that the symptoms above group in particular patterns creating a subsystem of patients.

The first group reports extreme sensitivity to pain but little else that could be considered psychiatric conditions. The second group reports the pain as well as pain-related depression. The third group reports depression first and then the onset of fibromyalgia symptoms. The fourth and final group falls into the somatization subset. This means that it is believed that Kamagra jelly a psychiatric issue is causing them to experience unexplained physical symptoms.
