Pain all over

If you are a woman in your 40's and has pain in the neck, chest, upper and lower back, arms and thighs, legs, check out these other symptoms:

1. poor sleep or insomnia
2. non refreshing or non-restorative sleep (tired on waking up in the morning)
3. easily irritated bowels, abdominal pain, diarrhea or constipation
4. headaches
5. "feeling low" and disinterested
6. fatigue

Fibromyalgia

is not an uncommon condition and is now recognized as a distinct form of rheumatism

that causes pain all over -

"achy body".

It can be severely debilitating  and may cause

loss of interest in routine and work-related activities of daily living.

It can come and go, but generally, treatment is needed in order to avoid disability.

It can be treated with both non-drug and drug treatment.
It is important to
search for other causes or diseases, that can cause pain in similar parts of the body,
before ascribing the symptoms solely to fibromyalgia.

A rheumatologist or physical and rehabilitation medicine specialist can help you.
