Agreed - Fibromyalgia is mischaracterized as an illness.

I believe it is actually a cluster of symptoms that doctors don't understand. Chronic inflammation caused by mitochondrial dysfunction is probably the proper diagnosis. The causes of mitochondrial dysfunction are myriad in our modern world, toxic pharma, toxic foods, pollution, and even quite likely... 5G.

More research must be done and human health must prioritized over corporate profit.

What is fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is a long-term (chronic) condition.

It causes:

pain in the muscles and bones (musculoskeletal pain)
areas of tenderness
general fatigue
sleep and cognitive disturbances

This condition can be hard to understand, even for healthcare providers. Its symptoms mimic those of other conditions, and there aren’t any real tests to confirm the diagnosis. As a result, fibromyalgia is often misdiagnosed.

In the past, some healthcare providers even questioned whether fibromyalgia was real. Today, it is much better understood. Some of the stigma that used to surround it has eased.

Fibromyalgia can still be challenging to treat. But medications, therapy, and lifestyle changes can help you to manage your symptoms and to improve your quality of life.
