Fibromyalgia is a condition that causes pain, fatigue, and tender points around the body. It can be hard to diagnose because many of its symptoms are similar to those of other conditions. It can also be hard to treat. That's why it's important to see a doctor who has experience treating fibromyalgia. An estimated 5 million American adults - most of them women - have the condition, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Fibromyalgia causes ongoing pain and fatigue. There is currently no cure, but some medications and lifestyle remedies can help relieve the symptoms. Dietary choices may also make a difference. Some experts suggest using a multimodal approach to manage symptoms. This can involve medication, exercise, complementary therapies, and appropriate dietary choices.
