Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that causes pain, tenderness and stiffness of the body muscles, bones and joints. One can also characterize it by its symptoms such as no proper sleep, restlessness, fatigue and even depression.
While these are just some of the common symptoms that are usually experience by those who are suffering from this ailment. But here are other such symptoms that indicate and point out this disease and they are anxiety, and also disturbances in the bowel functions. Previously this was called the Fibrosis’s, but now this is called the Fibromyalgia.
This seems to be one of the most common diseases that is affecting the present generation. However, there are many studies and experiments that have been carried out over this disease but still most of the scientists and experts are not sure, so as to what causes them.
Here in this ailment the muscle tissues involved are not accompanied by the tissue inflammation and this is the main reason, despite having body pain, most of the patients having fibromyalgia don’t develop body damage or muscle damage.
This ailment also does not cause more damage to the internal body organs. So this makes it different from other rheumatic diseases such as arthritis and rheumatoid. However, in these diseases the tissue inflammation is the main cause of the body pain or the joint pain, since the tissue inflammation would result in tissue expansion and this would rub against the bones and joint. But the same is not with Fibromyalgia as there is no such tissue expansion.
Another reason that makes this tolerable to most of the patients is because they don’t cause any harm to the body tissues and internal organs, while the other do cause the harm to the body muscles and internal organs.
However, the cause of this ailment is still yet to be known, and despite various efforts, still the scientists have failed repeatedly. But still there have been certain developments since the past few months and scientists have found out some clue as to what is causing this ailment.
There are researches that have found out that these victims have lower levels of serotonin in them and they have also found elevated levels of a particular nerve chemical called the P in the spinal fluid of these patients. So this could be the main cause of this disease. However, still there are researches to find out to confirm this fact.
