Women and people with
rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or spinal
arthritis may be more likely to have fibromyalgia. The chronic condition affects up to 1 in every 50 Americans. Its causes are unknown at this time. However, most researchers believe that fibromyalgia occurs when there are problems with how the nervous system processes pain. Some researchers also believe the condition could be linked to a specific gene. However, that gene has not yet been identified.
Some of the common symptoms of the condition include widespread pain, fatigue, and tender points where people feel pain in response to slight pressure. Treating fibromyalgia can be difficult. Some possible treatment options for fibromyalgia include lifestyle changes, medications, and alternative or complementary treatments.
