A Collection of Symptoms
Fibromyalgia is known as a syndrome because it is a collection
of symptoms rather than a specific disease process that is well
understood. Besides pain and fatigue fibromyalgia symptoms often
include:
- Non refreshing sleep
- waking up tired and stiff
- headaches ranging from ordinary types to migraine
- irritable bowel
- frequent diarrhoea or constipation, sometimes accompanied by gas in the abdomen or nausea
- cognitive disturbances including lack of concentration and word mix up
- clumsiness and dizziness
- sensitivity to changes in the weather and to noise, bright lights, smoke and other environmental factors
- allergies
