Seasonal Transitions Increase Fibromyalgia Complaints
<p>Fibromyalgia syndrome is an unpleasant disease that causes widespread muscle pain and a decrease in quality of life. The pain is mostly concentrated in the lumbar and neck regions. In addition to pain, patients also complain of fatigue, weakness, sweating, chills, numbness, stomach pain, painful menstruation, dry eyes and mouth, sleep disturbance and a tired start to the day. Symptoms that increase due to seasonal transitions and cold weather also cause loss of workforce. Patients often consult different specialty doctors with complaints of increased pain, but this causes both a waste of time and an increase in the patient's health problem.</p>
<p>Fibromyalgia can be seen in all ages and genders, although most of them are women. People with any rheumatologic, viral or bacterial disease and those with psychiatric problems are at risk for fibromyalgia.</p>
<p>There is no single treatment for the disease. The disease should be treated with a multidisciplinary program that includes a personalized exercise program, physical therapy, massage and regular diet, as well as medication to relieve pain and fatigue. Psychiatric support may also be provided if necessary.</p>
