Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS)
Epidemiological surveys indicate that about 20% of the Australian population experience chronic pain, roughly two-thirds of whom experience some degree of consequent interference with daily activities; in one-quarter the severity of pain is such that it results in high level disability.
Growing evidence suggests FMS can occur at any age from pre-pubertal childhood onwards, with a prevalence in women that peaks in middle life (40- 60 years).
The pain of FMS is often described as having an aching and/or burning quality and primarily involving the muscles, but variably also involves the joints and bones.
The three ‘core’ symptoms on history of FMS are pain, fatigue and sleep disturbance.
Management - is a multifactoral approach. Medication, physiotherapy therapy (exercise specific to the individual, psychosocial interventions (stress management).
