Fibromyalgia in Kingston WA

Fibromyalgia is a very complex and misunderstood condition. For a long time, it was debated whether it actually existed. There is no doubt now that fibromyalgia is a very real and debilitating condition that primarily affects women, characterized by chronic, widespread pain with no known cause. Studies have been done involving brain scans of people with fibromyalgia that offer hard evidence of what patients already know: their pain IS real – mainly because their threshold for tolerating pain impulses is lower than that of most individuals. But the mechanism causing this lowered pain threshold is unknown. Many sufferers are also afflicted with a variety of other related conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), chronic fatigue, depression, ringing of the ears (tinnitus), headaches, and sleep disturbances. It is thought that the wide variety of symptoms seen in fibromyalgia is due to problems and imbalances in many systems of the body.
