Early Symptoms Of Fibromyalgia Everyone Should Be Aware Of

Extreme Fatigue

Fibromyalgia patients may experience extreme fatigue to the point that it interferes with personal, social, and occupational life. This may occur in the early stages of the disease and is the second most common symptom of the disorder. (The most common symptom is body aches and deep muscle pain.) The fatigue associated with fibromyalgia has been described as 'flu-like' and can even occur immediately upon waking up in the morning. The extreme fatigue experienced often occurs in conjunction with emotional problems, including depression and anxiety. Daytime naps may sometimes help deal with extreme fatigue, but at other times, they may fail to provide relief.
