What fibromyalgia can involve
Fibromyalgia is commonly described as a long-term condition involving widespread pain, deep fatigue, sleep that does not refresh you, and the concentration difficulties many people call fibro fog. Symptoms tend to rise and fall, and can flare after activity, stress or a bad night.
Because there is no single test for it, and because nothing shows on the outside, many people spend years being asked to prove something they live with every day. A record kept in your own words, day by day, is one of the few things that speaks for you in the room.
Fibromyalgia can be a difficult condition to diagnose, partly because there is no specific test for it.
