I've been hearing about a lot of people being diagnosed with fibromyalgia lately. What is it and how is it diagnosed?

Fibromyalgia is a condition that causes widespread pain, fatigue, and tenderness in the muscles and joints. It can also cause sleep problems, headaches, and other symptoms. The diagnosis is based on your symptoms and physical exam. A doctor will ask you questions about your pain and other symptoms, and then they may order blood tests to check for other conditions that could be causing your symptoms.
