Perth chiropractor Dr. Stacey Burke of West Coast Family Chiropractic http://www.westcoastfamilychiropractic.com answers the question "what is a fibromyalgia?"Fibromyalgia is a disorder that causes muscle pain and fatigue (feeling tired). People with fibromyalgia have "tender points" on the body. Tender points are specific places on the neck, shoulders, back, hips, arms, and legs. These points hurt when pressure is put on them.<br />People with fibromyalgia may also have other symptoms, such as:<br />Trouble sleeping<br />Morning stiffness<br />Headaches<br />Painful menstrual periods<br />Tingling or numbness in hands and feet<br />Problems with thinking and memory (sometimes called "fibro fog").
