Overview
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a disorder classified by the presence of chronic widespread pain and tactile allodynia.[1] While the criteria for such an entity have not yet been thoroughly developed, the recognition that fibromyalgia involves more than just pain has led to the frequent use of the term "fibromyalgia syndrome". It is not contagious, and recent studies suggest that some people with fibromyalgia may be genetically predisposed.[2] The disorder is not directly life-threatening. The degree of symptoms may vary greatly from day to day with periods of flares (severe worsening of symptoms) or remission; however, the disorder is generally perceived as non-progressive.
Historical Perspective
Classification
DSM 5 divides fibromyalgia into four groups based on the differences in psychological and autonomic nervous system profiles among affected individuals into extreme sensitivity to pain but no associated psychiatric conditions, fibromyalgia and comorbid, pain-related depression, depression with concomitant fibromyalgia syndrome, fibromyalgia due to somatization.[3][4][5]
Pathophysiology
The cause of fibromyalgia is unknown. In fact it is not be due to a singular factor at all but is due to a multiplicity of causes. Fibromyalgia does not, start as a result of some trauma such as a traffic accident, major surgery, or disease. Some evidence shows that Lyme Disease may be a trigger of fibromyalgia symptoms. Various hypothesis have been put through describing the pathogenesis of fibrommyalgia. Another study suggests that more than one clinical entity may be involved, ranging from a mild, idiopathic inflammatory process to clinical depression[6][7]
Causes
The cause is unknown. Possible causes or triggers of fibromyalgia are physical or emotional trauma, abnormal pain response - areas in the brain that are responsible for pain may react differently in fibromyalgia patients, sleep disturbances, infection, such as a virus, although none has been identified. [8][9]
Differentiating Fibromyalgia from other Diseases
Fibromyalgia must be differentiated from other diseases that present with pain, fatigue and sleep disturbance, and symptoms of cognitive dysfunction and psychiatric disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, SLE, chronic fatigue syndrome, spondyloarthritis, polymyalgia rheumatica.[8][9][10][11][12]
Epidemiology and Demographics
Risk Factors
Common risk factors in the development of fibromyalgia are stressful or traumatic events, such as car accidents, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), repetitive injuries. Injury from repetitive stress on a joint, such as frequent knee bending, illness (such as viral infections), family history and obesity.[9]
