Fibromyalgia Awareness Jewelry
I'm a fellow Fibromyalgia sufferer for 20 years now. I remain
hopeful
that research will discover something to help us all
live a more
full life. Thank you.
Fibromyalgia (fi-bro-my-AL-ja) syndrome
(FMS) produces chronic body-wide pain, which migrates
and can be felt from head to toe. Other symptoms include persistent
fatigue, headaches, cognitive or memory impairment, morning
stiffness and non-restorative sleep. The pain can migrate from day
to day. Recent
scientific research studies have shown central nervous system
involvement in FMS.
 Over
6 million Americans, 90% of them women in the prime of their life,
suffer from FMS and sometimes struggle for years
being correctly diagnosed.
Symptoms usually appear between 20-55 years of age, but children are
also diagnosed with fibromyalgia syndrome.
Pain and severe fatigue may keep FMS sufferers from their chosen
profession and unable to perform
common daily tasks.
Fibromyalgia
pain continues throughout a person’s lifetime.
Today, there is no
known cause, treatment or cure for FMS.
