Fibromyalgia

I once wrote a blog entry about fibromyalgia and a lot of people asked me what it is all about. I thought it would be great if I showed you guys what I saw in Wikipedia (they explain things better than I do)

(FM) is a disorder classified by the presence of chronic widespread pain and tactile allodynia.^[1] An example of tactile allodynia is when a person perceives light pressure or the movement of clothes over the skin as painful, whereas a healthy individual will not feel pain. Fibromyalgia patients are often affected by a number of symptoms other than pain, including debilitating fatigue, abnormal sleep architecture ^[2] meaning the brain does not reach all the restorative levels of sleep necessary for overall health, functional bowel disturbances^[3] and a variety of neuropsychiatric problems including cognitive dysfunction ^[4] which can mean short and/or long term memory problems, slowed information processing ability, diminished attention span and anxiety and depressive symptoms

Scary isn’t it?
