Everyone knows what it’s like to feel sore and exhausted from time to time. But when these symptoms persist (especially with no apparent cause) that could be an indication of fibromyalgia.
The exact cause of fibromyalgia is not known, but many doctors believe this condition is related to an over-expression of pain within the central nervous system. There’s no single diagnostic test for fibromyalgia. Instead, a doctor makes the diagnosis by ruling out other conditions and learning about a person’s medical history.
