Life With Fibromyalgia

Book Description
Fibromyalgia often referred to as an 'invisible disease', affects a person physically and mentally. Along with fatigue, sleep disturbances, and mood swings, patients with fibromyalgia deal with widespread muscular pain, which disrupts their daily activities. When I got to know that I was dealing with fibromyalgia, I was not very familiar with the condition. In fact, it took me a while to even realise that I was suffering from fibromyalgia. Intensified pain, muscle tenderness, fatigue and restlessness are some of the major symptoms of this illness. These symptoms are quite common and are seen in several other diseases like hypothyroidism, anaemia, rheumatoid arthritis, Lyme disease, multiple sclerosis, and even cancer. So, it gets very difficult to diagnose fibromyalgia at the very first go. This is the reason I called it tricky earlier. Usually, patients with fibromyalgia experience difficulties in walking, lifting and performing daily activities. Joint pain in the neck, shoulders, back, and hips are very prominent. Although fibromyalgia is not fatal, it's definitely something that will bother you throughout your life, if not treated at the right time. The pain experienced is unimaginable.
