What is Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is a longterm, chronic condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain. This pain is often accompanied by fatigue, sleep disturbances, memory issues, and mood swings. While the exact cause of fibromyalgia remains unknown, it is believed to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. This condition can be difficult to diagnose due to its overlapping symptoms with other disorders, but it is estimated to affect millions of people worldwide.

Managing fibromyalgia and chronic pain conditions requires a personalized approach. Finding the right balance of gentle stretches and lowimpact exercises can help reduce pain and improve your overall quality of life. Remember, it’s important to listen to your body and adjust your activities based on how you feel. With patience and consistency, you can take proactive steps towards managing your symptoms and leading a more active, fulfilling life.
