Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, and cognitive difficulties, often described as fibro fog. It affects the nervous system, amplifying pain signals and making even light touches or mild exertion feel overwhelming.

Other common symptoms include sleep disturbances, sensitivity to stimuli (light, sound, temperature), and emotional distress such as anxiety or depression. Despite being an invisible illness—with no outward signs—its impact on daily life can be profound.

The exact cause is unknown, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic, neurological, and environmental factors. While there is no cure, treatment focuses on symptom management through medication, physical therapy, lifestyle adjustments, and mental health support.

Fibromyalgia is often misunderstood, making awareness and empathy essential for those living with it.
