Fibromialgia is a symptom that deteriates the fibro tisuue that connects to the bone.  It also eeffects the ligaments, tendons.  It is a type of arthritis, but according to the doctoers it is more of a symptom.  It is very painful, and it can disable you if it is not treated.  I get migraines from it that puts me down for a while like a couple of days.  It can also effect the muscle tissue in your face.  One day I can feel like I have a toothache like have an absess, and then the next day it would be like I never had any problems.  I have had this problem for about ten years now, but I learned to axcept the inevitable because there is no cure for it.  The best thing I learned from it is exercise.  There are certain exercises I have learned to do that reall y helps.  Yoga is one of the best toning exercises that I know besides it being a good meditation tool, and most important help me to become enlightened with my own self worth.
