Early Symptoms Of Fibromyalgia

As fibromyalgia have no known cure, early detection of its symptoms is crucial to reduce the effects and to prevent the myriad other symptoms from appearing. Luckily today, the research on fibromyalgia is already pretty extensive. Doctors have marked some early symptoms of fibromyalgia that can be observed even among young women as early as their teenage years.


Like any other disease, detecting the condition earlier gives doctors and therapists a greater chance of finding a personalized solution. The early signs of fibromyalgia include stiffness of the muscles, unreasonable fatigue, depression, irritable bowel syndrome, changes in sleep patterns, and brainfog.

When a person frequently wakes up with muscle stiffness and the feeling of being restless, this could be a sign. Some patients say that they often woke up with their backs feeling sore and even turning their head could be excruciating. The pain would go away in few days but appears again after some time. Although this could be due to poor posture during sleep, but if you have changed your mattress and pillows for several times and still observed the problem, it’s time for you to see a pain or fibromyalgia specialist.

When you feel tired even with no obvious reason, you could have chronic fatigue syndrome, or else, fibromyalgia. These two disorders often go together. Doctors also noticed patients suffering depression often develop fibromyalgia. And fibromyalgia, too, could cause a person to be depressed. That is why it’s important to see your doctor if you feel depressed for no reason.

Early symptoms of fibromyalgia also include brainfog, which is a lot like amnesia but is only very temporary. You could wake up in the morning forgetting your name or your favorite breakfast. You could also literally froze in the middle of the department store trying to remember your favorite can of tuna or your baby’s favorite baby food flavor. Fibrofog or brainfog often appears in the morning and goes away as the day progresses.

When you experience several of these early symptoms of fibromyalgia, you should consult your physician and ask him more about FMS. Not all doctors are equipped to diagnose the disorder so be sure to ask your doctor if he is or ask a referral if he says he’s not trained to diagnose FMS.
