Answer to Question 2

Fibromyalgia, also referred to as fibromyalgia syndrome or FMS, is a chronic musculoskeletal disorder characterized by widespread muscle pain, joint stiffness, disturbed sleep, fatigue, headache, cognitive and memory problems (sometimes referred to as fibro fog), paresthesias, irritable bowel syndrome, painful menstrual periods, and numerous tender points, which are specific muscle-tendon sites throughout the body that are painful when pressed. Fibromyalgia is the second most common musculoskeletal condition encountered by rheumatologists, affecting an estimated 5 million adults in 2005 . Prevalence is about 2, and is much higher among women than men (3.4 vs. 0.5). The etiology of fibromyalgia is multifactorial and includes both environmental and genetic factors. Treating fibromyalgia involves a multidisciplinary approach aimed at improving the quality of sleep; treating depression, anxiety, and pain; increasing physical activity; and using various approaches to help patients better cope with stressful events and improve their ability to relax.
