Pain is often in the muscles,but can also be felt in the joints,ligaments and bones.
The pain is often persistent,but about a third of all victims have been brief periodes of pain free.
Some body parts are affected more often than others,as the neck,shoulders,lower back,hands and feet.
Pain power varies in different part of the body,and it can also vary from day to day.
When a muscle hurts,it´s difficult to move.In a study of people with fibromyalgia,over half reported that it was difficult or impossible to run,climbing stairs,carry a weight of 5 pounds,working with their hands above their head,opening a screw cap and lifting 2 kilo.
Many people with fibromyalgia feel stiff in the muscles,especially in the morning.
Numbness and tingling occurs in more than half of the patients,but they have no evidence of nerve damage.
Intense and prolonged pain is stressful.That´s why signs of stress are more common in people with fibromyalgia.

Gripes,increased flatulence,alternative diareé and constipation,problem with the pee,or a need to pee unusually often,dryness of the mouth,migraine or tension headache.
The pain makes you awake at night,often several times,and therefore you don´t feel rested in the morning.
It´s the deep sleep which mainly affected.If the deep sleep is disrupt,the immune system is affected.
