Triggers of fibromyalgia flareups include.
Weather changes.
Overexertion.
Mental stress.
Illness or injury.
Traveling.
Hormonal changes.
Changes in treatment.
The most helpful treatment approach for fibromyalgia is a combination of self-care, physical activity and cognitive-behavioral therapy.
But medication may also be needed.
Many drugs prescribed for fibromyalgia work to turn down “pain volume” in the central nervous system (CNS).
Fibromyalgia never really goes away, but you can go into periods of remission, which means you go for weeks, months, or years without symptoms.
Some people go into remission after trying several treatments that ease symptoms.
The central feature of fibromyalgia is chronic pain in multiple sites.
These sites are the head, each arm, the chest, the abdomen, each leg, the upper back and spine, and the lower back and spine (including the buttocks).
The pain may be mild to severe. It may feel like a deep ache, or a stabbing, burning pain.
