The myths

It is not a disease, but subjective sensations.

On the contrary, fibromyalgia is one of the most common disorders of the musculoskeletal system. However, there are too many unanswered questions about this even among doctors. On the one hand, it is not yet clear what exactly causes it.

It only threatens older women.

This is not true: even children can be affected, while the majority of those diagnosed are between the ages of 20 and 50. Statistically, fibromyalgia is more prevalent in women, but it doesn't circumvent men either.

It's not so bad. The pain is tolerable.

This is also not true: bouts of pain can even lead to disability. In addition, fibromyalgia may increase the risk of stroke, especially in young people.

What to do

First and foremost: See a doctor.

Only a doctor can determine if you really have fibromyalgia and prescribe the right treatment for you.

Medical treatment.

Typically, pain relievers and anti-inflammatory drugs are prescribed to treat fibromyalgia. Antidepressants may also be prescribed.

Physical activity, massage and other procedures.

These can restore mobility to your body. In Japan, for example, short sessions of cryotherapy are used. Sports are also essential, but only in moderation. Yoga or swimming would be a good choice.

Restoration of emotional balance.

Anything that relieves negative attitudes and depression has a positive effect, direct or indirect. According to doctors, even pet therapy can reduce the symptoms of the disease.

Pain points: be sure to check it out yourself

Press the marked points: As a rule, the resulting pain is dull and shallow, and its focal area is not too large. The main sign of a possible disease is the symmetrical arrangement of the points. If everything matches, don't wait to see your doctor!
