People affected have widespread aches and pains in their muscles, tendons and ligaments. It is also known as "muscular rheumatism", "soft tissue rheumatism" and "neurasthenia". What is fibromyalgia? Fibromyalgia is a condition that's hard to define. There isn't an obvious physical explanation for the persistent aches and pains. But it is clear that the symptoms can make it hard to cope with daily activities like employment and housework. Causes Nobody is quite sure what causes fibromyalgia. There are many theories, but there is no clear evidence of the cause. It doesn't seem to be inherited from parents and it doesn't appear to be caused by a virus. Symptoms The aches and pains of fibromyalgia affect many of the muscles around the body, although not necessarily all at the same time. The pain is usually worse in the neck and the upper part of the back, and it's unlikely to be fully relieved by everyday painkillers - aspirin or ibuprofen. People with fibromyalgia may also have symptoms including: waking up feeling totally unrefreshed constant fatigue feeling very stiff in the morning numb hands or tingling fingers finding everyday noise irritating and painful loss of ability to concentrate forgetfulness irritability tension headaches Fibromyalgia is a condition that sometimes lasts for several years. Treatment A1 Pilates can help you manage your fibromyalgia through a variety of therapeutic massages. People who follow a regular massage program generally feel better over time.
