Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition, characterized by widespread pain affecting the musculoskeletal system.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words and such is the case with this photo.  It sums up quite well, what if feels like to have Fibromyalgia.  

The only thing to add, would be a million pins and needles all stabbing at the same time, all over the skin that feels like it's badly sunburned.

In summary, the symptoms of Fibromyalgia are:
  • deep-seated bone pain 
  • burning, aching muscles 
  • all-over pain which feels like deep bruising
  • a million pins and needles, all stabbing at the same time all over the skin


    In addition to the pain, Fibroymyalgia also shares some of the same symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome:
  • Fatigue ​  
  • Sleep problems disturbances
  • Cognitive disabilities ("Brain Fog")
  • Painful, tender "trigger points"
