Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia means pain in the fibrous tissues of the body, such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

Primary fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a form of fibromyalgia where pain occurs in muscles, tendons, and ligaments throughout the body. The cause is not known. It is most common in young and middle-aged women, but can also be found in men, children, adolescents, and older adults.

Secondary fibromyalgia is a form of fibromyalgia that is caused by another disorder. It may also be associated with overuse or trauma to the muscles, such as that experienced following a motor vehicle accident. In secondary fibromyalgia, the pain is often localized (it occurs in a specific area of the body). Men are more likely to have secondary fibromyalgia than primary fibromyalgia.

Concomitant fibromyalgia is a form of fibromyalgia that co-exists with another condition that causes muscle pain, such as arthritis, or other diseases of the connective tissue.

The correlation between fibromyalgia and EMFs is only beginning to be recognized.

"A government (United Kingdom) agency has acknowledged for the first time that people can suffer nausea, headaches and muscle pains when exposed to electromagnetic fields from mobile phones, electricity pylons and computer screens." --Sarah-Kate Templeton, Medical Correspondent

Reducing dirty electricity in the home has resulted in recurring reports of symptom relief from all forms of fibromyalgia.
