Fibromyalgia and supportive solutions
An overview of the symptoms, the process and supportive electrostimulation options in fibromyalgia, which is accompanied by widespread body pain and fatigue.
What is fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is a condition that may be accompanied by persistent pain in large areas of the body, fatigue and disrupted sleep patterns. Symptoms may vary from person to person and over time, which can affect daily life to different degrees.
Management usually requires a multifaceted approach; exercise, lifestyle adjustments and, where considered appropriate, supportive solutions may be considered as part of the treatment plan. Supportive options such as a multi-point electrostimulation garment come into consideration only in line with the physician's assessment and recommendation.
Common symptoms of fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is not defined by a single symptom; several symptoms may occur together and with varying severity. The fluctuating course of the symptoms can lead to good and difficult days following one another.
- Persistent pain and tenderness in large areas of the body
- Constant fatigue and low energy
- Disrupted sleep patterns and a feeling of not being rested
- Periodic fluctuations in concentration and comfort
