Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is characterized by chronic widespread pain, multiple tender points, abnormal pain processing, sleep disturbances, profound fatigue, and psychological distress.¹ It is recognized as one of the most common chronic widespread pain syndromes, affecting approximately 2% of the U.S. population.² The presence of fibromyalgia is seven times more common in women than in men.² This mysterious condition has a history of controversy, with some people questioning whether it is a disease at all. Fibromyalgia draws skepticism for reasons including lack of a known cause, lack of tests to confirm the diagnosis, and an overlap of symptoms with other conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome and other pain disorders.
