Millions of people in Americans-especially women- suffer from the Fibromyalgia syndrome (sometimes misspelled as Fibro myalgia, fibromylagia etc.)  and for many it makes life a living hell. With Fibromyalgia comes many hardships, not only does it cause pain throughout the body, but it also leads to fatigue, sleep problems and in one out of four patients, depression.

If you suffer for fibromyalgia or think you may have contracted Fibromyalgia then this website is made for you. In this website you will find articles which will explain to you what Fibromyalgia is and what can be done to treat it. However this website is not a substitute for medical assistance so make sure you consult a medical professional before you make any decisions using the information you have found here.

Defining The Fibromyalgia Syndrome

According to this government health article Fibromyalgia is “a common syndrome in which a person has long-term, body-wide pain and tenderness in the joints, muscles, tendons, and other soft tissues.” People who suffer from it also often suffer from sleep problems, fatigue, headaces, problems concentrating and problems with memory, morning stiffness, bowel irritation and one in four also experience anxiety and depression. I have written an extensive article on Fibromyaglia symptoms here.

Fibromyaglia is also a problem which is mainly associated with women, because women are 10 times more likely to suffer from this syndrome than men.
