Research Notes on Early Symptoms of Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia (FMS) is a syndrome characterized by generalized pain of muscles and joints with debilitating fatigue.1 In its early stages there are symptoms that appear together for a few days at a time. Some early signs are waking up with muscle stiffness and the feeling of being restless.2 Your back may feel sore or turning your head might cause excruciating pain. Feeling tired for no obvious reason or waking up in the morning and feeling forgetful may be other early signs of fibromyalgia.3
Fast Facts:
- Diagnosis of fibromyalgia is difficult and requires a thorough examination.
- Undiagnosed fibromyalgia may contribute to social isolation.
- Chronic muscle pain, muscle spasms or tightness, and leg cramps are main symptoms.1
- Fibromyalgia can also be linked to restless leg syndrome and sleep apnea.3
- OrganizedWisdom offers a quick quiz to see if you may have fibromyalgia.
