Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder characterized by tenderness of muscles, joints and tendons. This disease may act as a cause of sleep raptures, fatigue, pain and stiffness in the joints.  Further, the condition also triggers restlessness, anxiety and disrupted bowel movements in the body. Many researchers earlier believed this disorder as one of the musculoskeletal disorders. However, the recent research studies prove that this condition is actually an indicative of central nervous system disorder. This condition is the main cause of abdominal pain which amplifies with time.

The recent studies have also revealed that this disease affects 70 per cent of people at some stage of their life. It mainly affects the muscles of the body without causing any inflammation. This means that no matter how unbearable the body pains, the patients does not develop any physical deformity / damage because of this disease. This disease is not associated with damages of sorts in the internal body organs. This is one of the most striking aspects that differentiate it from the rheumatic conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, polymyositis, systemic lupus etc. The physical examination of patients distressed with this disease show no signs of inflammations in the tissues which saves them from a number of health disorders.
