Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder that presents in many misunderstood and misdiagnosed ways. The most common symptoms are unexplained widespread pain, bone pain, muscle pain, and joints pain or soreness, memory fog/issues, frequent migraine, irritable bowel syndrome, fatigue, and sleep issues. Although these symptoms are real to the patient, there is no physical cause for these pains, hence the reason this disorder is often misunderstood and mistreated. Until recently, fibromyalgia was not recognized as a legitimate illness, therefore there has been very little research on it. Due to the recent validation of the disorder, more research and studies have been conducted and it has been concluded that it seems to be related to the pain pathways in the brain.
