So exactly what is fibromyalgia?

So fibromyalgia is often misunderstood or overlooked because it has a lengthy diagnostic journey.

And we'll talk a little bit about the symptoms in just a minute.

With patients, they wait about 6.4 years from their first symptom-related complaint to receiving that official diagnosis.

It's also important to point out that because symptoms associated with fibromyalgia might overlap with other conditions, and they're also not outwardly apparent in some individuals, these people can report challenges with navigating that diagnostic journey.

And as you mentioned, fibromyalgia is more than just pain.

It's a condition that affects your whole body and can cause many symptoms.

All right, no worries.
