1.   Widespread pain. The pain radiates throughout the body or in only a few areas, such as the neck or back. The sensation can be either burning or stabbing. This pain will last continuously, and its severity can vary.
2.   The level of sensitivity to pain increases. Even a gentle touch can be very painful, and the pain may take a while to completely go away. Sufferers can also be sensitive to other things, such as light or the taste of certain foods.
3.  Fatigue. Fibromyalgia can cause extreme fatigue to feel completely powerless, so you can't move.
4.    Poor sleep quality. Patients often feel tired even though they have had enough rest.
5.    Cognitive disturbances, for example difficulty concentrating or talking frequently.
6.     Headache. Usually this is the result of stiff neck and shoulders caused by fibromyalgia.
7.  Irritable bowel syndrome, which causes sufferers to experience constipation or even diarrhea.

The exact cause of fibromyalgia is not known for certain. However, experts say that this condition is caused by several factors, including:

1.   Abnormal pain signal. The brain, spinal cord, and nerves are the centers of the nervous system that send signals throughout the body through specialized cells. Changes in the way it works will make the central nervous system more sensitive to pain signals.
2.     Imbalance of chemical compounds, such as dopamine and cortisol.
3.   heredity factor. The factor of a person getting fibromyalgia will increase if there is a family who has a history of the same disease.
4.     Age. Generally experienced by those aged 30-50 years.
5.     Gender. Men are at lower risk than women for fibromyalgia.
6.  Physical or emotional trauma, such as suffering from a viral infection, giving birth, or having recently experienced a traumatic event such as the loss of a life partner.
7.     Have diseases related to  muscles, joints, and bones. For example, rheumatoid arthritis

1. Age. The risk of disease becomes higher over time.

2. Lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. The risk of disease becomes higher if you have both of these diseases.

3. Gender. Women are twice as likely to have fibromyalgia than men.

4. Traumatic event. Some of these events include car accidents and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

5. Repeated injuries. Injuries from repetitive stress on a joint, such as bending the knee frequently.

6. Body shape. People with obesity are at higher risk for it.

Because fatigue is one of the main components of fibromyalgia, getting good quality sleep is essential. In addition to allocating enough time for sleep, practice good sleep habits, such as going to bed and getting up at the same time each day and limiting daytime napping.

3. Exercise regularly
First, exercise may increase your pain. But doing it gradually and regularly often decreases symptoms. Appropriate exercises may include walking, swimming, biking and water aerobics. A physical therapist can help you develop a home exercise program. Stretching, good posture and relaxation exercises also are helpful.

4. Pace yourself
Keep your activity on an even level. If you do too much on your good days, you may have more bad days. Moderation means not overdoing it on your good days, but likewise it means not self-limiting or doing too little on the days when symptoms flare. Maintain a healthy lifestyle. Eat healthy foods. Do not use tobacco products. Limit your caffeine intake. Do something that you find enjoyable and fulfilling every day.
