What is Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain and fatigue. It involves an abnormality in pain perception, sometimes accompanied by:
- Generalized stiffness, especially upon getting up in the morning
- Poorly defined sensations in hands and feet, such as diffuse tingling
- Sleep disturbances and continuous fatigue
- Concentration and memory problems
Although the exact cause of this disorder is unknown, it is believed that multiple factors are involved that affect the central nervous system and pain perception.
What is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a complex disorder characterized by:
- Extreme fatigue that affects daily activities by more than 50%
- Loss of memory and concentration
- Sore throat and swollen lymph nodes
- Muscle and joint pain without apparent cause
- Headache
- Unrefreshing sleep
- Extreme exhaustion after non-intense efforts lasting more than 24 hours
Because these are chronic diseases, symptoms persist over the years, and although they can improve with appropriate treatment, no cases of complete cure have been reported.
Symptoms you should not ignore
Fibromyalgia:
- Generalized pain in multiple points of the body
- Morning stiffness that improves throughout the day
- Persistent fatigue and feeling of exhaustion
- Sleep disturbances and unrefreshing sleep
- Increased sensitivity to pressure at specific points
- Cognitive problems ("fibro-fog")
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome:
- Extreme fatigue that does not improve with rest
- Post-exertion discomfort that lasts more than 24 hours
- Recurrent sore throat
- Tender lymph nodes in the neck or armpits
- New type, pattern, or intensity of headaches
- Significant impairment of short-term memory
Our Team of Fibromyalgia Specialists in Barcelona
Dr. Jordi Robert
Coordinator of the Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Unit
“Most citizens have suffered from a viral illness at some point in their lives. That feeling of exhaustion, discomfort from fever, sore throat with swollen glands, muscle and joint pain. Patients with chronic fatigue syndrome continually experience all these “flu-like” symptoms. Why are these patients often misunderstood socially?”
