Fibromyalgia symptoms are painful all over your body.
People often get really tired and sleep for long periods.
Also sometimes people who have fibromyalgia are mostly weak all the time. There are many different symptoms people can get due to fibromyalgia like nausea,muscle pains,swelling in the body, migraine headaches, abnormal pain, insomnia, constipation, depression, and irritable bladder.
Although the symptoms can occur all day but the pain occurs mostly at night.
Fibromyalgia is a disorder very chronic musculoskeletal pain by fatigue, sleep loss, memory, mood issues, and joint or muscle pain.
Before it was called fibromyalgia it was called fibrositis.
Although over 3.7 million people have this disorder.
Many doctors say there still
Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva affects most part of the skeletal system, mainly jaw, hips, ankles, wrists, keens, elbows, chest, shoulder, spine and neck. Most of these parts of the skeletal system are part of the joints that help with movement and connect bones (Seeley et al., 2008). As consequence, the individual loses the ability to move or not move at all. FOP does not affect cognitive development; an individual with this disorder has the same intelligence as any other individual. However, as I mentioned it before they cannot perform everyday activities and need assistance for almost everything. As the disorder progresses individual start to lose movement of their appendicular and axial skeleton. The new solid bone growth makes it impossible to have flexibility in the joint and limbs. Individual are trapped on their own body.
Musculoskeletal Disorders are disorders that affect the human body’s movement and/or musculoskeletal system (such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, discs, blood vessels, etc.).
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a chronic state that causes muscles to tire and weaken easily. The meaning of the term Myasthenia Gravis is broken up, My means Muscle, asthenia means lack of strength and Gravis means serious. In an autoimmune disorder the immune system attacks parts of the body. The part of the body that is attacked by the circulation of antibodies, is the muscular system, and in certain receptors for acetylcholine on muscle cells at the neuromuscular junctions.
Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) is a musculoskeletal illness (which causes chronic pain) and a chronic fatigue disorder. It can also change sleep patterns and cause the following: digestive disorders, chronic headaches, painful menstrual periods, temperature sensitivity, morning stiffness, numbness or tingling of extremities, and even cognitive memory problems. The name fibromyalgia comes from "fibro" in Latin meaning tissue, "my" in Greek meaning muscle, and "algia" (also Greek) meaning pain.(source 5)
Although there is no known cure for this condition despite the advent of science and technology, the good thing is that there are numerous options to offer relief for fibromyalgia patients. You must have heard about being dependent to certain types of medicines or those people who no longer respond to low dose analgesia. In this case, most patients look for natural remedies to avoid complications later on. Even top-notch medical specialists believe that the treatment and management for fibromyalgia should be a balanced and holistic approach that comes with complementary medicine, appropriate exercise and therapy.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manuel of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-V), describes somatoform disorders as a group of related mental health symptoms that are characterized by a patient’s presentation of multiple, current somatic symptoms that are distressing or result in significant impairment of daily functioning. A somatic symptom is the presentation of physical illness or distress that would appear to have a medical basis but which cannot be explained by either a general medical condition, direct effect of a substance, or any other mental health disorder. Patients who suffer from somatoform disorders firmly believe that the pain they are experiencing stems from a physical problem rather than a mental one; indeed, that is a fundamental aspect of the disorder. Somatoform disorders range from a simple and persistent pain disorder to hypochondriasis, which involves persistent anxiety over the existence of a serious illness, to conversion disorder, which involves the actual loss of a bodily function from excessive anxiety over the perceived ailment. (DSM-V, 2013)
Imagine waking up every morning stiff, all your muscles in your body soar, extremely tired and on the verge of exhaustion. The simple task of taking a shower and getting dressed makes you need to lay down for just a few minutes and rest. Your legs ache from a short walk up the stairs last night on your way to bed, as if you ran a marathon in your sleep, and your skin literally hurts to the touch of your clothes as they rub against you. Your blood pressure is up and you can feel the pain emanating from every part of your body. You can’t, for the life of you, find your keys as they hang from the keychain in your hand, because the pain and agitation you are feeling all over has clouded your mind. You are finding it difficult to even concentrate. Never mind the rest of the day ahead of you, that has not even started yet. Now imagine this every day, all day. It almost seems impossible to fathom something of this nature on a daily basis, but that is exactly what most people with fibromyalgia describe as a daily feeling. Some are much worse than that. Fibromyalgia is real, it is pain, and it does exist. Although fibromyalgia awareness has progressed thru advertising there is much more that can, and needs to be done to bring this to the forefront of the medical field and other organizations as a real diagnosis. More research and Government funding is direly needed and demands significant action from our National health agencies and United States Government in the form of grants, research, trials and various drug interaction and testing.
The major common symptoms of the IBS are: abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, and flatulence. In addition to the main symptoms, some people with IBS experience several other sings. These can include a lack of energy, feeling sick, backache, and bladder problems.
Fibromyalgia is an extremely disabling condition associated with chronic widespread musculoskeletal pain and reduced pain thresholds (Wolfe et al., 2010)(Kelley et al., 2011). Observational studies have shown that over a 12 month period 25% of men and women surveyed over the age of 65 will consult a primary care physician for musculoskeletal pain (Jordan et al., 2010). Overall, between 46% and 80% of people over the age of 65 report experiencing pain on a daily basis and 15% of women and 10% of men over 50 report widespread musculoskeletal pain (Soldato et al., 2007; Thomas et al., 2004). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated in xxxx that fibromyalgia patients generated $6000 per patient per year in healthcare costs where as another recent study of administrative claims found that fibromyalgia healthcare costs may exceed $18,000 per patient annually (Wolfe et al., 1997). In a population study of ten chronic diseases, fibromyalgia was highest ranked for healthcare not received in the previous year and in long-term disability, pain, and poor self-rated health by survey participants (Kasman and Badley, 2004).
 Characterized by a chronic course (i.e., seldom without symptoms), with lowered mood tone and arrange of other symptoms that may include feelings of inadequacy, loss of self-esteem, or self-deprecation; feelings of hopelessness or despair; feelings of guilt, brooding about past events, or self-pity; low energy and chronic tiredness; being less active or talkative than usual; poor concentration and indecisiveness; and inability to enjoy pleasurable activities.
So what is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, or CFS? I would like to be able to explain exactly what CFS is, but true to the nature of what is known about this illness, there is no precise way to describe CFS. Rather, the disease is identified through a number of symptoms (both physical and psychological), including unexplained and persistent fatigue of new or definite onset, concurrent with short-term memory loss, sore throat, tender axillary lymph nodes, muscle pain and unrefreshing sleep, among a number of others, for a duration of at least six months. As is probably evident, the above symptoms, in addition to being signs of CFS, are also the same (or very similar) symptoms experienced in such diseases as Lymes disease and "the flu." There are symptoms that involve the Gastrointestinal Tract (GI), immunological-related symptoms, symptoms of psychiatric disease like depression, sexual malfunction, endocrine dysfunction-basically every system in the body. This is part of the reason why CFS is hard to detect, and is usually chosen as a diagnosis only at the exclusion of all other possible ailments. The other difficulty that lies with diagnosing CFS is that there is no way of measuring the level of a person's fatigue-there is no way for a physician to tell whether a patient complaining of fatigue is experiencing the type of fatigue associated with CFS or he/she is just extremely tired and overworked.
The development of Fibromyalgia and depression in one’s life is dependent on many factors. Firstly, depression can result from issues such as reacting to loss, struggles of life or personal issues related to self-esteem. Fibromyalgia can also result from similar issues as well. However, statistics show that this disorder is common in women than in men (Schmidt et al, 2010). This disorder has been linked to
Some people suffer from regular constipation (obstinate constipation). If constipation persists for longer period, it can lead to various discomforts like headache, tympanites (abdominal distension), loss of appetite, pain in the abdomen, lethargy and above all hemorrhoids (piles).
The symptoms of somatic symptom disorder can often be hard to notice because it is psychological and many times the pain they express may seem legit. Many people with the somatization pattern of the somatic symptom disorder will experience many long-lasting physical ailments, and these ailments typically have little to no physical basis (Comer, 2014). These people will usually go from doctor to doctor, hospital to hospital just to find some relief or even answers...
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a complicated disease that classified as a dangerous one. The common symptom of this disease is the tiredness or exhaustion that stays in the body for at least six months. The cause of CFS is not clear yet, but viruses, abnormalities in the immune system, and hormonal imbalance might cause CFS. The Diagnosis process is not based on a certain test that done in the lab then the result can be taken directly, but it based on tracking some diagnostic criteria which are severe fatigue, reduction In the activity levels, and some symptoms of CFS like sore throat and sleep disorder. The treatment is also mysterious until now, but the treatment will be easier by treating its cause if the doctor knows the cause of
