If you take a glance at what lengths we’ve come when it comes to technology and science, you would be tempted to think that there isn’t anything available to really still be a mysterious with regards to the medical field. But, there are so many stuff that remain not only mysterious. Cancer is most likely probably the most fearsome and dangerous one, and also to it, there are many other medical conditions whose nature remains unknown towards the date.
Fibromyalgia, for instance, has been recognized as a stand-alone medical illness quite recently. Before that, it had been only considered to be a kind of depression that shows physical symptoms. To this day, there are still many physicians refusing to really accept the truth that this syndrome is as real as it gets and that it should be considered to be very serious.
There are 5 million Americans (and, according to different studies, more than 6 million, actually) who suffer from fibromyalgia. On their behalf, this syndrome is a daily reality. Some of them have learned to live their lives as free of the pain as possible. However, many happen to be bedridden for a long time (within the most literal feeling of the phrase). On their behalf, it cannot get more real .
What Causes Fibromyalgia?
Believe it or otherwise, this can be a question that nobody has been capable of finding a clear a solution to. Even though it is a reasonably while since fibromyalgia has started to be acknowledged as a stand-alone medical problem, research has not given actual answers yet. How so?
Fibromyalgia is very complex since it shows many symptoms. Pain is easily the most poignant one of them, but it can very often (most of the times, actually), come combined with many other disorders, symptoms and health conditions that induce a vicious circle leading medical professionals in confusion. Sleep disturbances, depression, anxiety, pain within the muscles, muscle twitching, fits, abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, dizziness, constipation, frequent urination, headaches (sometimes severely), eye vision, cognitive issues
