Fibromyalgia is a common and complex chronic pain disorder that affects the muscles throughout the body and results in an all over pain.  Many people describing “I hurt from head to toe”. 

The term fibromyalgia comes from “fibro” which means fibrous tissues, “myo” meaning muscle and “algia” meaning pain.  Thus, the term literally means muscle and fibrous tissue pain.  People with fibromyalgia often describe it as flu-like symptoms that leaves them exhausted and unable to think clearly.
