Identifying Fibromyalgia Symptoms  

Fibromyalgia is a condition that affects women more often than men. Primarily, it causes pain and tenderness throughout the musculoskeletal system including in the back, neck, abdomen, and muscles. In many cases, if you have fibromyalgia, you will also experience physical weakness. It's possible you'll experience headaches and fatigue. Depression and anxiety often times come along with the condition. It's not known what causes it, but certain factors put you more at risk of the condition such as genetics and some infections. Physical or emotional can trigger it.
