Vexed Inc would like to share the following health condition that not many people are aware of

****

It Is Called ""Fibromyalgia""

*** ( 43 Symptoms Of Fibromyalgia ) ***

Fibromyalgia is Linked to Childhood Stress and Unprocessed Negative Emotions

In America, between three and six million people, or one in every fifty, suffer from Fibromyalgia, a syndrome characterized by debilitating pain experienced all over the body with no obvious cause. Though often people do improve over time, it is often something that they will have to deal with for their entire lives.

If you find your muscles aching on a constant basis with no obvious external causes, have a read through this list of symptoms to help you determine whether you could have fibromyalgia

It is unlikely that all the symptoms will match, but if the majority of them resonate with you, then take your concerns to your doctor who will be able to first rule out all other causes.

Fibromyalgia syndrome or FMS is a disorder that causes a person to experience musculoskeletal pain throughout their body. It is accompanied by fatigue, mood, and memory issues. You should know that doctors don’t know what causes fibromyalgia and it can be attributed to a variety of factors including genetics, infections, and physical or emotional trauma.

People with Fibromyalgia experience widespread pain and tender points all over their body

**Hair, Skin, and Nails**

Overly-ridged nails or nails that curve under

Skin that bruises or scars easily or appears mottled

Mood swings and unexplained irritability

**Other Symptoms**

Family history

Headaches and migraines

****

Remember that all of these signs and symptoms are nonspecific, meaning that they can be caused by or signify another condition, or they could be coincidental and not mean anything at all.

For example, just because you experience PMS, are occasionally moody, have cravings, or experience migraines, does not mean that you have fibromyalgia.

Again, speak with your doctor before jumping to any conclusions.

**How is Fibromyalgia Diagnosed?**

Unfortunately, Fibromyalgia can be mistaken for other conditions, and there are no specific tests that can give a one hundred percent certain diagnoses, making it difficult to diagnose at all.

First of all, you have to meet specific criteria set by The American College of Rheumatology to receive a fibromyalgia diagnosis. These criteria are: 

Widespread pain that has been present for at least 3 months in all four quadrants of the body

11 out of 18 tender points, with pain felt when palpated on those points

Negative findings for any other diseases on any of the diagnostic tests performed

****

Because there is not one test that can determine whether or not someone has fibromyalgia, doctors use a combination of diagnostic tests to help rule out other conditions and make a stronger case for the disease. Tests you can expect to undergo are:

Complete blood count

Rheumatoid factor

Antinuclear Antibody (ANA)

Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)

Thyroid tests

X-rays

MRI
