The Pain From Fibromyalgia Is Real

Fibromyalgia is real pain and anyone who has it or think they may have it needs to see a doctor. Fibromyalgia is a disease in the blood that flows to the brain and can cause a lot of pain as well as disability, anxiety and depression. The fibromyalgia disease is mostly found often in women than men. Being that your brain controls your body (joints and muscles,) fibromyalgia is hard to diagnose because the pain is everywhere and is hard to pinpoint the exact spot to treat. No one has yet to find out what causes this disease or what medication to prescribe to cure it.

Fibromyalgia also causes sleep disorder, dizziness, headaches and unbearable pain. The pain from fibromyalgia spreads through the body and doctors were beginning to wonder if the pain was real. Researchers worked long, hard hours to prove that the pain was definitely real.

The proof that fibromyalgia was real was the diagnostic guidelines that listed its causes as mental and emotional stress and depression. The FDA approved Lyrica for patients that are 18 years of age and older. Lyrcia was the first medication to be approved for fibromyalgia and it only relieves some of the pain. The FDA also approved Cymbalta for fibromyalgia, but it only reduces some of the pain as well. With Cymbalta, the side effects may vary with different patients. The most common side effects with Cymbalta may be dry mouth, sleepiness and decrease in appetite.
