as A result of the following comment I would like to give some explanations on the fibromialgia:

had read somewhere that “disease” there such com clear which is the resource of medicine in many occasions when he has no idea what it is, that of “functional”, are going.

In short, the doctors are also wrong, psychiatry remained for many years homosexuality as a disease without empirical basis, the side effects of aspirin have been unknown until recently, the origin of many diseases is unknown but if his symptoms, etc. second, the diagnosis (unlike what happens in House) is relatively easy in 90% of patients in primary carei.e., rarely appear as common symptoms such as pain in muscles and tendons without a physical cause apparent. This is the case with fibromyalgia, patients are pain and tenderness in soft tissue (muscles, tendons, etc.) but there seems to be no cause.

From here onwards, medicine knows what little, prevalence among women aged 25 to 50 and little else, there are studies that speak of possible genetic relationship, other problems in the transmission of pain, etc. and in addition to this disease you are hopelessly United a number of symptoms described already since the 1990s as insomniafatigue, syndrome of irritable bowel, etc. that make difficult a correct diagnosis.

Today is a chronic disease of cause idiopathic (i.e. unknown) and the Rheumatology attempts to deal with. But for the moment the successes are scarce or moderate, even while more than 19 years have passed since was included in the manual of Rheumatology and 16 since the who defined it as:

“ painful condition, not articulate, surrounds the muscles, which is the most common cause of pain chronic and widespread musculoesqueletal ”
