Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a condition of unknown cause. It has been around for a long time but has only relatively recently been awarded a "named" diagnosis. It is basically diagnosed by first ruling out all other possible causes and then confirming some symptoms and tender points. Symptoms include pain and tenderness in many areas, joints, muscles etc, excessive fatigue, some people have systemic symptoms such as irritable bowel syndrome also. There is no specific order of progression of symptoms and each person may experience different levels of varied symptoms. There is no known treatment that is guaranteed to work.
There are many support groups now and this is often a good place to get some ideas as to various management strategies that other people have found useful. These include medication, acupuncture, massage, exercise therapy, hydrotherapy, meditation, pilates, yoga, dietary changes and many more. Physiotherapy can be useful in a number of cases and certainly particularly where a number of these services are provided.
