Fibromyalgia |
|
Fibromyalgia syndrome is a common form of
generalized muscular pain and fatigue that is believed to affect
approximately 2 percent of the U.S. population, or 5 million
people. Fibromyalgia mainly affects muscles and their
attachments to bones. Although it may feel like a joint disease,
it is not a true form of arthritis. It is, instead, a form of
soft tissue or muscular rheumatism.
