Understanding Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain and tenderness, and it can seriously reduce your quality of life. It affects about 2% to 4% of the population, with women being diagnosed at a rate of 7:1 compared to men. The condition is difficult to diagnose because it is known to occur in conjunction with other chronic illness, including:

Rheumatoid arthritis – a systemic inflammatory disease of the joints
Lupus erythematosus – an autoimmune disease that causes widespread inflammation and tissue damage
Osteoporosis – a degeneration of cartilage and bone in the joints
Ankylosing spondylitis – a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the axial skeletal and joints

What Causes Fibromyalgia?

Though the causes of fibromyalgia are unknown, experts believe that it may amplify how the brain processes pain signals. Some physicians feel that fibromyalgia may be exacerbated by hormone imbalances. This is because hormones such as testosterone and DHEA play a role in how pain receptors respond in the body.

Waning hormone levels may cause heightened pain receptors and inflammation in the body, which can increase the symptoms and issues that arise with fibromyalgia. Restoring hormone balance may harmonize the way that pain receptors perceive pain, which can lead to a reduction in the symptoms of widespread body pain.
