There is no viral, fungal, or bacterial cause known thus far. The American Medical Association recognized it as a legitimate medical condition in 1987 although descriptions of fibromyalgia-like conditions have been found as early as the 1800s. Symptoms include chronic pain and tiredness. Some theories suggest that the disorder could be a result of trauma (such as a car accident), severe stress during child birth, a prolonged period of emotional stress (such as grieving and depression), and/or that certain peoples' pain receptors may be more prone to the syndrome. It is no longer found to be true that inflammation occurs in the muscles affected; so, the name 'fibrositis' is no longer used. fibromyalgia Fibromyalgia Eye Cancer (CancerFn Eye) The collection of all Genital Warts.
