Fibromyalgia is a non-contagious chronic syndrome affecting between 3% and
6% of the population.
A "chronic syndrome" means that there are a number of symptoms that suggest
you have Fibromyalgia.
The symptoms are varied but can be
debilitating for many, and reduce quality of life for other.
Although the percentage of
the population effected by Fibromyalgia is relatively small. Of those
affected, 90% are female and 10% are male, and it is most commonly
diagnosed in people between the ages of 20 and 50 (My friend was 35 when
diagnosed).
Before 1976 the condition
was given another name but in 1976 it was renamed Fibromyalgia to accurately
reflect what science had discovered about it:
it is related to fiber, muscles, and
pain.
Today, Fibromyalgia is
known to be a non-contagious, debilitating syndrome with the strong
possibility that sufferers have a genetic disposition to developing it.
Also, there seems to be a link - to a trauma suffered and the development of
symptoms or potentially an increase in symptoms.
