Fibromyalgia Blood Test Panel
What is Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that causes widespread pain in the body. In addition to pain, fibromyalgia often causes fatigue, difficulty sleeping, and memory and cognition issues.
What Causes Fibromyalgia?
The exact cause of fibromyalgia is unknown. Researchers believe that a number of factors cause the brain and spinal cord to process pain signals abnormally. This leads to a heightened sensitivity to pain. Events such as injury, surgery, infection, or emotional stress can trigger Fibromyalgia symptoms.
How is Fibromyalgia Diagnosed?
Fibromyalgia is typically diagnosed based on symptoms, physical examinations, and testing to rule out other conditions with similar symptoms.
