| Publisher Description: Some people believe fibromyalgia is a new condition, but it has existed for centuries. It was once considered a mental disorder. But in the early 1800s, it was classified as a rheumatoid disorder that caused stiffness, pain, fatigue, and difficulty sleeping.Fibromyalgia tender points were discovered in the early 1820s. The condition was initially called fibrositis because many doctors believed pain was caused by inflammation throughout the body. It wasn't until 1976 that the condition was renamed fibromyalgia. The name was derived from the Latin word "fibro" (fibrosis tissue), and the Greek terms for "myo" (muscle) and "algia" (pain).In 1990 the American College of Rheumatology established guidelines for diagnosing fibromyalgia. The first prescription medication to treat it became available in 2007.Fibromyalgia, a disorder that causes chronic pain, is still poorly understood. I live with fibromyalgia, and on any given day, I deal with issues like extreme fatigue, allover pain, and brain fog.Since it's largely an invisible illness, those who have it appear outwardly to be just fine. Unfortunately, that's not actually the case.Fibromyalgia is particularly difficult to describe to friends and family, since its symptoms vary in severity from day to day. It's hard to explain to friends that you need to cancel plans because you're tired, but often that's exactly what's going on.Know someone with fibromyalgia? To start to understand what it's like to live with this condition, I came up with 10 scenarios that might help you empathize. |
