Basics of fibromyalgia
"Fibromyalgia" is a name used to describe generalized muscular pain and fatigue.
Fibromyalgia is a set of signs and symptoms that occur together (A sign is what the physician finds on examination; a symptom is what a person reports to the doctor). Although fibromyalgia may feel like a joint disease, it is not a true form of arthritis and does not cause deformities of the joints.
