Fibromyalgia: A syndrome characterized by chronic pain, stiffness, and tenderness of
muscles, tendons, and joints without detectable inflammation.
2.Fibromyalgia does not cause body damage or deformity. However, undue fatigue plagues
the large majority of patients with fibromyalgia and sleep disorders are common in
fibromyalgia.
3. Fibromyalgia is considered an arthritis-related condition. However,it is not a form of
arthritis (a disease of the joints) since it does not cause inflammation in the joints, muscles,
or other tissues or damage them. But fibromyalgia can (like arthritis) cause significant pain
and fatigue and it can similarly interfere with a person's ability to carry on daily activities.
