Fibromyalgia causes generalized pain usually affecting the neck, shoulders, lower back, hips, shins, elbows or knees. There are 18 pressure points that are typically affected by the pain of fibromyalgia. The pain is usually worse in the morning. In most cases, the pain is so great that it seriously disrupts sleep. Since sound sleep is crucial for good health, anything that causes sleep disturbances must be addressed. Other possible symptoms include headaches, poor circulation, poor concentration, dizziness, numbness, tingling and gastric disturbances.
The typical Fibromyalgia patient sees eight doctors before the diagnosis is presented.
