Edit
Fibromyalgia is a difficult and painful condition which affects more than 40 million Americans annually. It manifests through pain all over the body, and is quite often misdiagnosed as it�s hard to detect it.
This is why it�s very important to recognize the early signs of the condition in order to start with the treatment as soon as possible and prevent severe pain.
Since there�s no cure for fibromyalgia, you can manage it with the help of light exercises, medications and cognitive behavioral therapy.
The muscle pain and tenderness can become a real problem after a while, and even painkillers won�t work. The condition doesn�t have an effect on the physical system only � it can also destroy your mental health.
