Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and heightened sensitivity to touch. It is believed to involve abnormal processing of pain signals in the brain and nervous system, amplifying the perception of discomfort. Individuals may also experience headaches, cognitive difficulties often referred to as “fibro fog,” irritable bowel symptoms, and mood disorders such as anxiety or depression. The exact cause is not fully understood, but genetic factors, physical or emotional stress, infections, and trauma may contribute to its development. Although there is no cure, treatment focuses on managing symptoms through medications, regular low-impact exercise, stress reduction, sleep improvement, and supportive therapies to enhance overall quality of life.
