It's not "all in your head". Fibromyalgia is a real medical condition. The main symptoms are chronic widespread pain, tenderness, sleeping difficulties and fatigue.
When you have fibromyalgia, the nerve fibres runnning through your body become more sensitive and more active than normal, causing you to feel more pain than someone without fibromyalgia.
If you suffer from fibromyalgia, you're not alone. It is estimated that more than a million Canadians suffer from it. Women are 3 times more likely than men to suffer from fibromyalgia.
