About 80 to 90 percent of those diagnosed with fibromyalgia, which occurs in as many as 1 in every 50 Americans, are women. Widespread muscle pain, fatigue, and multiple tender points are the most common symptoms of the disorder. People with fibromyalgia may also experience headaches, morning stiffness, and tingling or numbness in the hands and feet. This condition can be hard to treat. Once a person is diagnosed, the healthcare provider may recommend medications, alternative therapy, or lifestyle changes to help with pain relief.
