Generalized and persistent pain
Pain is the main symptom. It affects muscles, tendons, and joints, often with a burning, stiff, or shooting sensation. Unlike classic pain, it does not go away and can move to different parts of the body.
Impact: permanent discomfort, difficulty moving, hypersensitivity to touch.

Chronic fatigue
Even after a good night’s sleep, people with fibromyalgia feel constantly exhausted. This fatigue can be so intense that it makes simple tasks, such as climbing stairs, cooking, or even concentrating on a conversation, difficult.
Why? The disease impairs the quality of deep sleep, which is essential for good recovery.

Sleep disorders
