The rhythm of modern life, totally unequal in its intensity, even from one day to another, can disturb our health to a decisive point for what we call quality of life.Physical or mental diseases often accompany us for long periods of time, and diagnose them and treat them requires a lot of energy from therapists, doctors and the individual himself.

What is fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is a chronic disease characterized by generalized musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep disorders and memory problems. It causes an increase in pain sensitivity, making normal stimuli perceive as painful.The exact causes of fibromyalgia are unknown, but it is believed that it implies a combination of genetic, infectious, psychological and environmental factors. Fibromyalgia treatment includes medication for pain and sleep, physiotherapy, aerobic exercise, massages, stress control techniques and cognitive-behavioral therapy. In the absence of a curative treatment, the treatment of symptoms is essential to improve the quality of life of those affected.Diagnosis and treatment should be personalized, adapted to the individual needs of each patient.

When does fibromyalgia appear? When do we give such a diagnosis?

Fibromyalgia usually appears in middle-aged adults, but can affect people of any age, including children and the elderly. Women are more likely than men to develop the disease, and fibromyalgia is diagnosed when the patient has intense musculoskeletal pain for at least three months without another identifiable cause. The pain must be present on both sides of the body, above and below the waist. In addition, patients may present other symptoms, such as persistent fatigue, uneasiness and concentration problems.

The diagnosis of fibromyalgia is clinical and is based on medical history and physical examination. There are no specific laboratory tests for fibromyalgia, but they can be used to rule out other conditions with similar symptoms, such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus. A specialized questionnaire can also be used, such as the diagnostic criteria of the American Rheumatology College, which evaluates the intensity of symptoms and pain distribution. In conclusion, fibromyalgia is diagnosed through a detailed evaluation of symptoms and the exclusion of other possible causes, which guarantees a precise and effective approach to the treatment of this complex condition.

What treatment should we follow to treat the symptoms of fibromyalgia?

The treatment of fibromyalgia aims to relieve symptoms and improve the quality of life, since there is no definitive cure for this disease. A multimodal approach is usually the most effective, combining medication, physiotherapy and lifestyle changes.Medications may include analgesics, such as ibuprofen, to reduce pain. Antidepressants, such as duloxetine and milnaciprán, are usually prescribed to reduce pain and improve sleep.Anticonvulsants, such as pregabaline and gabapentin, can also help reduce symptoms.

Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in the treatment of fibromyalgia. Regular aerobic exercises, such as walking, swimming or cycling, can reduce pain and improve general health. Stretching and muscle strengthening techniques are also beneficial. Sometimes personalized physiotherapy may be necessary to treat the specific problems of each patient. Stress management is essential, since stress can aggravate the symptoms of fibromyalgia.

Relaxation techniques such as yoga, meditation and deep breathing can help reduce stress and improve general well-being. Changes in lifestyle include a healthy diet, adequate dream and avoid caffeine and alcohol, which can disturb sleep. Social support and participation in support groups can provide patients with comprehension and encouragement.
