Too many patients for too many years have been abused neglected and degraded, causing even further suffering. This is due to the negligence of educators, governing bodies, and GPs to inform or become informed. Due to the high percentage of doctor’s ignorance and negligence we ask for immediate attention in educating all medical professionals about the validity, symptoms and current treatment of this debilitating multi-systemic disease.

 The symptoms of fibromyalgia can vary from mild to severe. The most common symptoms are:

• increased sensitivity to pain due to a decreased pain threshold
• increased responsiveness to sensory stimuli such as heat, cold, light and numbness or   tingling
• extreme fatigue (tiredness)
• problems with cognition (impacting on memory and concentration)
• problems with sleep.

 Definition by the Mayo Clinic, Staff Ref: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/fibromyalgia/basics/definition/con-20019243

Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues. Researchers believe that fibromyalgia amplifies painful sensations by affecting the way your brain processes pain signals.

Symptoms sometimes begin after a physical trauma, surgery, infection or significant psychological stress. In other cases, symptoms gradually accumulate over time with no single triggering event.

Women are much more likely to develop fibromyalgia than are men. Many people who have fibromyalgia also have tension headaches, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety and depression.
