Fibromyalgia Center

Tue, 02 Mar 2010 21:00:30 GMT

Overview Fibromyalgia is a common condition characterized by long-term, body-wide pain and tender points in joints, muscles, tendons, and other soft tissues.

Fibromyalgia can develop on its own or along with other musculoskeletal conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus. Symptoms The overwhelming characteristic of fibromyalgia is long-standing, body-wide pain with defined tender points. Tender points are distinct from trigger points seen in other pain syndromes. Unlike tender points, trigger points can occur in isolation and represent a source of radiating pain, even in the absence of direct pressure. Fibromyalgia pain can mimic the pain that occurs with various types of arthritis. However, the significant swelling, destruction, and deformity of joints seen in diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis does not occur with fibromyalgia...

There is no such thing as a regular headache. Headaches can be classified based on their characteristics and features as either primary or secondary. The most commonly experienced headaches are the primary headaches whose cause is thought to be an underlying inherited predisposition. Those things that trigger primary headaches are often confused with the underlying biological causes. This has led to misunderstandings and misdiagnoses. The primary headache disorder falls into 3 main categories: Migraines Migraine headaches are more common than expected. Over 28 million people suffer with this disease and less than 50% are properly diagnosed and even less are treated effectively. Migraine is a legitimate biological disease of the brain, which is associated with multiple symptoms. The head pain tends to be on one side but can be all over.
