It occurs specifically in muscles, ligaments and tendons. Some 2% of the population suffers from fibromyalgia, and women make up 85% of these patients.

Patients often describe their pain as aching, exhausting, nagging or hurting. Most patients suffer from sleep disturbance, fatigue, cognitive difficulties (fibrofog) and morning stiffness. Multiple comorbidities have been reported with fibromyalgia including tension/migraine headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, temporomandibular disorder, interstitial cystitis, chronic pelvic pain and depression. Fibromyalgia affects 2-4 % of the US population, however, only half of those are diagnosed. It is about seven times more common in women and the typical age of onset is between 20 and 55 years. Fibromyalgia appears to be caused, at least partially, by genetic factors, as several genetic mutations were able to be associated with fibromyalgia. First degree relatives of fibromyalgia patients were more than eight times more likely to develop fibromyalgia than non relatives. [...] [...] Fibromyalgia is a common chronic widespread pain condition. Patients often describe their pain as aching, exhausting, nagging or hurting.
