What is Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is a rheumatic condition of widespread

In addition to widespread pain, many people also experience fatigue,
sleep disturbances, and anxiety or depression.
The etiology of fibromyalgia is unknown which makes accurate
diagnosis elusive and effective treatment difficult.
