Unexplained muscle aches and body pain?

Could it be Fibromyalgia?

March is National Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Awareness Month. Chronic fatigue is one of the most common symptoms of Fibromyalgia, second only to deep muscle pain and body aches. Symptoms can be described as flu-like and include pain so severe that it can lead to bouts of sleep deprivation, anxiety, and depression. This inability to sleep makes concentration difficult and is often referred to as "brain fog." 

According to WebMD.com, "Fibromyalgia is a syndrome with multiple symptoms that commonly occur together, including widespread pain, decreased pain threshold or tender points, incapacitating fatigue, and anxiety or depression."

Laboratory tests are inconclusive!

In the case of Fibromyalgia, most lab tests are inconclusive which makes a diagnosis very difficult. People are commonly misdiagnosed with arthritis, depression, lupus, or chronic fatigue. A diagnosis of Fibromyalgia usually occurs after extensive testing rules out other suspected causes.

Thermography can "visualize your pain"

Thermography is a valuable screening tool that aids in the detection of Fibromyalgia. While an x-ray of painful areas will show no abnormalities, the muscular and myofascial inflammation associated with Fibromyalgia can be accurately documented and monitored through the use of digital infrared thermal imaging. By using thermography, not only will you be able to "visualize your pain," but you will be able to save yourself the time and expense of other extensive testing.
