Fibromyalgia Syndrome

Fibromyalgia syndrome is a chronic condition of widespread pain and profound fatigue. The pain tends to be felt as diffuse aching or burning, often described as head to toe. It may be worse at some times than at others. It may also change location, usually becoming more severe in parts of the body that are used most. Patients with fibromyalgia also experience sleep problems, extreme fatigue, depression, anxiety, and other symptoms, in combination with tenderness of specific areas on the body.
