The �Invisible Illness� - Fibromyalgia
Almost 16 million North Americans suffer from fibromyalgia
(FM), a multi-system disorder and common rheumatic syndrome
often referred to as the �invisible illness� because of the diffculty
in diagnosing it. The name fibromylagia is rooted in Latin: fibro,
meaning supportive tissue; myo, for muscle; and algia for pain. The
hallmark of fibromyalgia is widespread pain throughout the muscles,
stiffness and chronic aching. It affects women more than men, and
usually strikes between the ages of 30 and 60 years. It accounts for 15
to 30 percent of all visits to rheumatologists.
The pain of FM is thought to be caused by a tightening and thickening
of the thin film of tissue that holds muscles together. A diagnosis of
FM will be confirmed if your doctor finds pain or tenderness in 11
out of 18 trigger points located in the knees, hips, rib cage, shoulder
and neck. |
