Fibromyalgia syndrome is a
widespread musculoskeletal pain and fatigue disorder for which the
cause is still unknown. Fibromyalgia means pain in the muscles,
ligaments and tendons -- the soft fibrous tissues in the body. More
women than men are afflicted with the syndrome, and it shows up in people of
all ages.
