Fighting for Freedom: Ravaging through the Medicinal Battlefield for Signs of Relief from the Symptoms of Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia, a disorder that causes aches and pains all over the body yet has no signs of any physical ailments, does, in fact, have a very long history. Chronic widespread pain had been described in the literature in the 19th century. Throughout history the symptoms of fibromyalgia had gone by several different names, however, it wasn't until 1976 that the term "fibromyalgia" was first used. In 1981, the term was first used in a scientific publication and then in 1987 fibromyalgia was final considered as a real physical condition by the American Medical Association (AMA).

So what is fibromyalgia? What are the symptoms? What causes fibromyalgia? How is fibromyalgia treated? Is it curable?
