What Is Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, and heightened sensitivity to touch. It can also cause:
- Sleep disturbances
- Memory and concentration issues (commonly called “fibro fog”)
- Digestive problems
- Mood disorders, such as anxiety or depression
Fibromyalgia affects millions of people, yet it remains a misunderstood condition. At Granite State Pain Associates, we are committed to helping you manage the physical and emotional impact of fibromyalgia.
What Causes Fibromyalgia?
The exact cause of fibromyalgia is unknown, but researchers believe it involves a combination of factors, including:
- Abnormal Pain Processing: Heightened sensitivity in the brain and spinal cord amplifies pain signals.
- Genetics: A family history of fibromyalgia or similar conditions may increase your risk.
- Physical or Emotional Trauma: Injury, surgery, or psychological stress may trigger symptoms.
- Infections: Certain illnesses can activate or exacerbate fibromyalgia.
- Sleep Disorders: Poor sleep quality may contribute to the cycle of pain and fatigue.
Understanding these triggers is the foundation of effective fibromyalgia treatment.
