Fibromyalgia is not a disease, but a chronic
condition in which the patient suffers from
severe pain all over the body. The muscles,
joints and ligaments of the patient suffering
from fibromyalgia hurt even with slight pressure.
Search online to find an expert doctor who can
cure chronic conditions like fibromyalgia and
adrenal fatigue. People often complain about
having pain all over their body. Doctors often
fail to recognise the symptoms of your problem.
If you are constantly having pain in your body
parts like joints, muscles or ligaments then
there is a high chance that you might be
suffering from fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is
not a disease, but it is a chronic condition.
There are multiple ways to treat this chronic
health condition, but the majority of those have
long lasting and severe side effects on the body.
Therefore you should visit an expert doctor, who
can help you to get over from this health
problem.

You will feel exhausted and body will hurt all
over, if you are suffering from fibromyalgia.
Even after multiple lab tests, a general
physician may not be able to find anything wrong
with your body. Though the right cause of
fibromyalgia is still unknown, but it is believed
that when the muscles nerves become exhausted
due to high inflammation, they send signals to
the brain which results in severe pain. To find
out if you are suffering from fibromyalgia, the
doctors may run certain test like identifying
specific areas on the body that are highly
sensitive and cause pain even with little
pressure. There are a number of pressure points
located from head down to the knees in
symmetrical pairs.

  are quite tender to soft pressure. These spots
  are important in the assessment of fibromyalgia.

  skull

• Muscles of the upper back and neck
• The upper part of the thigh bone
• At the insertion of the second rib

• The risk of fibromyalgia increases with age and
  women patients are more in numbers in comparison
  to men. Children can also get affected by this
  condition. The symptoms usually start after

With changes in your physical activity, weather,
stress and day to day routine, the symptoms of
fibromyalgia may also start to change. The pain
is such condition is described as a dull ache
that occurs constantly, starting from your
muscles and joints. In fibromyalgia, your body
will suffer from pain on both the sides it will
be above and below the waist as well. Similar

condition known as adrenal fatigue. You can
