fibromyalgia
What is fibromyalgia?

What causes fibromyalgia?
- The exact cause of fibromyalgia is unknown.
- Stress may play a part. Stress often causes disturbed sleep patterns and a lack of restful sleep. When you don’t get enough sleep, your body does not produce the chemicals necessary to control or regulate pain. This causes tenderness
in the upper back and forearms and leads to the symptoms of fibromyalgia.
- Physical and emotional factors may also play a role in fibromyalgia.
- When you are sick, you may worry about your health and become anxious, depressed, or inactive. These emotional factors could make your symptoms worse and aggravate fibromyalgia.
