PrimarysymptomsofFibromyalgiainclude:

● Widespread pain across your body, which could be more intense in particular areas

● Cognitive difficulties, including problems with thinking, concentration and memory

● Tender points: specific areas on your body that are particularly sensitive to pressure, such a neck, shoulders, chest, hips and knees

● Fatigue even after resting for an extended period of time

● Tingling sensation in limbs

● Digestive problems like bloating, constipation, abdominal pain, IBS

ThesevaluesignsofbodilydistresscanmakeitdifficulttodiagnoseFibromyalgia–youmight beinclinedtothinkthatyouaresimplytiredorneedtoexercisemore.Butunderstandingthe underlyingreasonsforyourconditiongoeshandinhandwithdiagnosisandresolvingtheissue.
