Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia, a musculoskeletal disorder, affects millions of Americans. Symptoms can range from pain and fatigue to anxiety and depression. While anybody can develop the disorder, it is most commonly found in adult women who have experienced an injury, illness or acute stress. The disorder often runs in families.

Fibromyalgia causes long lasting pain. Patients experience symptoms above and below the waist and on both sides of the body. The pain may cause difficulty sleeping, concentrating and performing day to day activities. Fortunately, your fibromyalgia may improve over time, and there are a variety of treatments and medications that can alleviate some of the troubling symptoms.

Because many of the symptoms are shared with other disorders, some doctors misdiagnose patients. HMFCC offers a variety of specialized clinical care and Atlanta fibromyalgia treatment services designed to help patients manage their symptoms.
