Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition causing widespread body pain, fatigue, sleep problems, and cognitive difficulties ("fibro fog"). While its exact cause isn't fully understood, it's believed the brain processes pain differently. Management focuses on reducing symptoms through medications, gentle exercise, stress management, and healthy sleep habits to improve daily well-being.
