Causes And Symptoms Of Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a chronic disease of the muscular system in which the muscles receive too little energy from ATP and other energy phosphates. This causes the muscle fibers to have trouble relaxing after contraction and the muscle remains in a shortened position. Over time, the pain increases and the muscles will lose elasticity. The blood supply to the muscle decreases, which causes the oxygen levels in the muscle to decrease as well. This is what causes the muscle pain. Symptoms could include muscle pains described as burning, throbbing, stinging, or stabbing, overwhelming fatigue, trouble sleeping, depression and anxiety, difficulty concentrating or remembering, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Premenstrual Syndrome, headaches, numbness, and tingling.
