While the hallmark symptom or sign of fibromyalgia is chronic widespread body pain, that is not the only symptom of fibromyalgia. Nor does simply saying widespread body pain really express what that means.
The same is true with the other standard symptom of fibromyalgia — chronic fatigue. The problem is that both widespread chronic pain and chronic fatigue are not just symptoms or signs of fibromyalgia, but they are also symptoms of many other illnesses.
The Common Symptoms of Fibromyalgia
- Chronic Widespread body pain — there are two keys in this symptom. The first is that the pain is chronic, meaning that it has lasted typically longer than 6 months. Widespread means that the pain is located in a variety of areas across the body.
- Doctors will generally test specific tender points by applying a slight amount of pressure. It’s not so much pressure that it should hurt, but when you have fibromyalgia pressure on those tender points often does hurt.
- There are also a lot of different types of pain that you may experience with fibromyalgia that are not common, these include allodynia and parasthesia.
