For years, many physicians were baffled on how to treat a condition called Fibromyalgia.

Both physicians like Robert Nassif and patients can be frustrated by the condition known as Fibromyalgia, because at times the pain can be more sensitive in one part of the body than another. "It is a syndrome associated a clinical diagnosis of muscle pain. The diagnosis is made from ruling out other common diseases resulting in the pain."

Dr. Nassif explains that most people who suffer from Fibromyalgia complain of aches all over their body. The symptoms can include a burning sensation and muscle twitches. "The pain in the muscle groups can be alternate, they can be tender points, depends on where those muscle groups are."

Dr. Nassif says that this condition is very similar and can just be as debilitating as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. "Fibromyalgia is more, its related to the chronic fatigue in the fact that the actual muscle pain that people do get."

Dr. Nassif also says that Fibromyalgia is more common in women than men and is treated with medications and an exercise program. "Physical therapy and rehab and also the medications to help induce a good nights sleep have been shown to be helpful to reduce the pain."

Additional alternative treatments such as acupuncture and massage therapy may also be helpful for people struggling with Fibromyalgia.

The diagnosis for Fibromyalgia is confirmed by having a diagnosis of pain in 11 out of 18 different muscle groups.
