Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a chronic syndrome occurring predominantly in women that involves diffuse and often non-specific pain, multiple defined and sometimes symmetrical tender points, fatigue, and disturbed sleep,. Symptoms are recurrent or constant, and may vary considerably over time. EEG studies sometimes find alpha-delta penetration in polysomnograph recordings, and symmetrical involvement of trigger points and “potential trigger points” have been identified in EMG on cats. They are abolished upon pithing the cats’ central nervous system.
