What are the symptoms of fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is a chronic disease characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain and fatigue. Common fibromyalgia symptoms include:

1. Widespread pain: Widespread pain on both sides of the body, upper and lower.

2. Fatigue: Physical and mental fatigue, as well as not feeling refreshed even after waking up in the morning.

3. Sleep problems: Inability to stay asleep, light sleep, and feeling tired after waking up.

4. "Fibro fog": Difficulty thinking and concentrating.

5. Headaches: Tension headaches or migraines.

6. Digestive problems: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), such as abdominal pain, bloating, and constipation.

7. Sensitivity: Sensitivity to external stimuli, such as light, noise, and heat.

To better understand your medical history (anamnesis), I need the answers to the following questions:

1. How long have you had these symptoms?

2. How often and how severe are your symptoms?

3. Do you also have any other medical conditions (e.g. diabetes, hypertension)?

4. Are you currently taking any medications?

5. Do you experience any mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression?

6. Does anyone else in your family have similar symptoms?

If you are experiencing these symptoms, it is important to be evaluated by a healthcare professional. A rheumatologist is usually required to diagnose fibromyalgia. However, I can refer you once I have this information.

I am not a doctor and this is not a medical diagnosis.
