Fibromyalgia is a chronic illness that causes immense physical
pain and debilitating fatigue. Classified as a syndrome, fibromyalgia
is not a disease. Instead it is a condition that causes many different
symptoms. These symptoms affect all systems in the body. Fibromyalgia
plagues up to 5% of the population, with 6 million sufferers in
the United States alone. The name fibromyalgia comes from "fibro"
meaning fibrous tissue (such as tendons and ligaments), "my"
meaning muscles, and "algia" meaning pain.
