Sometimes it feels like that being a woman takes a significant toll on your body.

It is not only that you have to deal with regular physical and psychological ups and down but also you have to deal with several illness and problems targeted toward women than anyone else.

Fibromyalgia is one of those chronic painful conditions which seems to affect women more than anyone else.

Fibromyalgia causes widespread pain in the muscles, tendons, including other nuances of life such as a headache, sleep disturbance, problem concentrating and depression.

Do you or someone you care have fibromyalgia?

I bet you then that you might be looking for that one silver bullet which will take away all your pain and frustration and bring your life back to normal.

The cause of fibromyalgia is still debatable but research have shown that in fibromyalgia patients the nervous system does not process information the right way and this causes the problem in actually treating this illness.

If you have been unfortunate enough to suffer with fibromyalgia condition then you would have often wondered that is that only you who suffer from this miserable illness. 

The truth is, there is a lot of contradictory and even outright false information about the severity of fibromyalgia epidemic across the globe.

Consider these key stats: 

• Fibromyalgia syndromes (FMS) affects 2% of worldwide population
• It is more common in women than in men, with a gender ration of 7:1
• On average, it takes 1.9 to 2.7 years and 2 to 4 physicians to receive accurate diagnosis.
• FMS patients physical function and quality of life are often reduced.
• Medical cost is high, up to 10 years before diagnosis and constructive diagnosis can reduce healthcare cost.

Do you know that over 6 million people in North America suffer from a chronic painful condition called fibromyalgia?

Yet, there is still so much confusion and uncertainty surrounding this illness.

People suffering from fibromyalgia have widespread pain throughout the entire body and have other side effects that often last the entire day.

There is no cure to treat fibromyalgia permanently, but there are conventional and alternative medicines available which can help you to reduce the fibromyalgia symptoms and improve the overall quality of life.

Is Fibromyalgia autoimmune disease?

That is the question many people diagnosed with fibromyalgia seem to ask when they hear the word central nervous system. 

One of my friend who has fibromyalgia moved from Idaho to California.

She told me that she has been in California for three months and in these three months, she did not get her fibromyalgia triggered as much as when she was in Idaho.

It makes me thinking whether there is a real correlation between the weather and the fibromyalgia.

Does the weather condition such as cold, hot, warm, dry or humid triggers fibromyalgia symptoms?
