Fibromyalgia affects millions of people and brings with it not only persistent pain but a whole host of additional issues as well. In addition to the aforementioned pain Fibromyalgia negatively impacts sleep patterns, memory, and mood. Sufferers of Fibromyalgia often report feeling a persistent and strong malaise. There is also muscle tenderness that persists even after a bout has subsided. Making matters worse for those with Fibromyalgia, they get little relief from the pain aside from any number of analgesics prescribed to them by a physician. The real problem here is that the medications simply attempt to mask symptoms and do nothing to treat the cause of Fibromyalgia. Moreover they all carry an array of side effects, some of which can make Fibromyalgia even more difficult to deal with.
