| Fibromyalgia (FM)
is a common rheumatic disease with an estimated prevalence of 2.1-to-5.7
per cent of the population. Women are much more likely to develop FM than
men by a ratio of four-to-one. The incidence of FM increases with age and
it is most common in women 50 years of age or older.
Although FM is a relatively new term, this
syndrome was known by several other names in recent years, including soft
tissue rheumatism, fibrositis and non-articular rheumatism. Random Thought: |
