About FMS
Fibromyalgia or FMS targets approximately 2 – 6% of the US population, and is a very difficult condition to live with. It is considered a non-life threatening syndrome, however symptoms can be quite debilitating.
It is generally thought of as an arthritic type of syndrome, with aching joints, bones, muscles and a significant amount of pain. There are many other symptoms of this syndrome, although the actual term 'Fibromyalgia' usually refers to widespread musculoskeletal pain and general weakness and exhaustion.
The severity of symptoms may fluctuate greatly from one individual to another as well as from day to day or even hour to hour within the same individual. There are usually periods of time that are called "flares" during which there is an intense worsening of symptoms and there may be periods of remission, when symptoms decrease or even disappear.
