Fibromyalgia: A pain that never tires

You feel tired all the time despite not engaging in too much physical activity. There is pain all over your body and are unable to satisfy your body with rest. Does this sound like you? If it does, you might be suffering from fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is a chronic fatigue syndrome that commonly involves pain in the muscle and joints and the rest of the body. Because of the pain, the person may be unable to tolerate even slight pressure on specific areas of his body. Sufferers also commonly feel tired even after sleeping for hours. This may be due to sleep disturbances such as excessive brain activity or muscle spasms during sleep. People with fibromyalgia also get frequent headaches and complain about bright lights, noises and strong odors. Doctors cannot pinpoint the cause of this illness. They usually just treat the specific conditions that a patient suffers from. They can prescribe different types of pain relievers and may recommend cognitive behavior therapy for the patient.
