Common Symptoms
While each person’s experience is unique, the most common symptoms of fibromyalgia include:
- Widespread Pain – Aching or burning sensations that may shift location or intensity over time.
- Chronic Fatigue – Feeling exhausted even after a full night’s sleep.
- Sleep Disturbances – Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or achieving restorative rest.
- Cognitive Issues (“Fibro Fog”) – Problems with memory, focus, and mental clarity.
- Muscle Stiffness – Especially noticeable in the morning or after periods of inactivity.
- Sensitivity to Stimuli – Increased reaction to light, noise, temperature, or pressure.
- Headaches or Migraines – Often recurring and linked to muscle tension.
- Digestive Concerns – Such as bloating, constipation, or irritable bowel-like symptoms.
Possible Causes and Triggers
The exact cause of fibromyalgia is not fully understood, but it is thought to result from a combination of factors, including:
- Nervous system changes that amplify pain perception
- Genetic predisposition
- Physical injury or trauma
- Infections or illnesses
- Ongoing emotional or physical stress
Symptoms can also flare up due to poor sleep, overexertion, weather changes, or heightened stress levels.
