- By:groshan fabiola
People that have fibromyalgia syndrome experience pain in the ligaments, tendons and muscles, and they say that they ache all over. Sometimes, patients can feel that their muscles burn, and sometimes twitch.
Fibromyalgia syndrome has unknown causes, and this disease consists in a widespread musculoskeletal pain and fatigue disorder. This syndrome can develop in people of all ages, and is seems it is more common in women.
Scientists discovered that there is a similarity between fibromyalgia syndrome and a post-viral state. They observed that in a bad flu you experience the same symptoms like in fibromyalgia syndrome , and here we may mention deep pain in every muscle of the body, fatigue, and the feeling you have lost your energy.
There are a few symptoms that are associated to fibromyalgia syndrome.
The pain that appears in this syndrome can be experienced in different ways by different patients. The patients can say they feel the pain as deep muscular aching, shooting, throbbing or stabbing, but they can also experience intense burning. Usually the pain is more intense in the morning, and the most affected are the muscles that are used repetitively.
Fatigue is another sympthom that appears. It can be mild in some patients, while other may say they lost all their energy, or they experience great difficulties in concentrating and when they want to move their arms and legs.
A lot of patients that are having fibromyalgia syndrome have a sleep disorder, called the alpha-EEG anomaly. Scientists found out that these patients had no difficulties in falling asleep, but their deep level sleep was many times interrupted by bursts of awake-like brain activity. The scientists used a machine that recorded brain waves during patient’s sleep to uncover this condition.
If you wake up and feel you had an uncomfortable sleep, it is possible that the doctor will assume you suffer from a sleep disorder.
Also, chronic headaches, are usual to appear in 70% of the patients having fibromyalgia syndrome.
The persons that have fibromyalgia syndrome can experience the apparition of other syndromes too. Temporomandibular joint dysfunction syndrome can appear to almost 75% of the patients and is causing varying degree of jaw discomfort.
There can also appear in 40-70% of the patients the irritable bowel syndrome, which includes diarrhea, frequent abdominal pain, constipation, abdominal gas and nausea.
There also can appear other symptoms, like irritable bladder, the feeling of swollen extremities, dizziness, premenstrual syndrome and painful periods, morning stiffness, skin sensitivities, numbness and tingling sensations, chest pain and other.
There exist some aggravating factors, and we can mention here infections, allergies, stress, depression, anxiety, changes in weather, cold or drafty environments.
In conclusion, we can say the fibromyalgia syndrome appears more often in women than in men, and the most experienced symptom is pain in the muscles, tendons and ligaments.About the author:
