Emotional trauma

Emotional trauma such as post-traumatic stress disorder, is thought to trigger fibromyalgia symptoms. Similar to other chronic illnesses, depression and anxiety are also linked to fibromyalgia. Other physical stressors such as infection or injury are thought to cause fibromyalgia. Some experts believe viral infections or Lyme disease may trigger fibromyalgia symptoms.

Genetics 

The most accepted theory is that there is a genetic component to fibromyalgia. Healthcare professionals may ask about a family history of fibromyalgia. Close relatives like parents or siblings with fibromyalgia help doctors determine risk factors. People who develop fibromyalgia may also have conditions that portray a heightened perception of pain called, "central sensitization."

Genetics, especially related to pain perception, is linked to fibromyalgia. People with fibromyalgia tend to have a greater perception of pain. They often feel like joints are swollen, but there are no physical signs of damage. Genetics also play a role in that you are more likely to have fibromyalgia if a family member is diagnosed. People with a parent or sibling with fibromyalgia have a higher chance of developing it themselves.

Sleep problems

Fibromyalgia is associated with sleep disorders such as perpetual light sleep, feeling unrefreshed after sleep, frequent nighttime awakenings, and chronic fatigue. Persistent fatigue accounts for 90% of those diagnosed with fibromyalgia. The link between fatigue and fibromyalgia is unclear but seems to be closely related.

• Digestive problems

• Muscle tension

• Painful sensations

• Poor sleep habits

• Pain and fatigue

• Musculoskeletal and skin diseases

• Chronic pain

There appears to be a close relationship between fibromyalgia and sleep problems. Chronic fatigue syndrome is linked to fibromyalgia and is characterized by debilitating fatigue. Your healthcare provider might prescribe a formal sleep test if you have persistent fatigue.

Antidepressants

Some fibromyalgia patients may be able to manage symptoms with certain antidepressants if prescribed, but it's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional rather than seeking to get antidepressants online.

Pain medications

• Rheumatoid arthritis

  • Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic illness that causes inflammation of joints, resulting in pain and swelling. RA can cause deformity to the joints. The difference between RA and fibromyalgia is that a fibromyalgia diagnosis does not confirm swelling of the joints nor does it cause joint deformity. Because of their similarities in symptoms, a rheumatologist may be consulted to perform a medical exam.

• Irritable bowel syndrome

  • Irritable bowel syndrome is linked to fibromyalgia due to the connection with central sensitization. IBS includes frequent abdominal pain with episodes of diarrhea, constipation, or both.

• Chronic fatigue syndrome

  • Chronic fatigue syndrome is a sleep disorder defined by debilitating and persistent fatigue. Persistent fatigue occurs in more than 90% of people with fibromyalgia.
