Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) also known as Fibromyalgia, is a long-term condition that causes pain all over the body, accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues.
 
The exact cause of Fibromyalgia is unknown. However, it is thought to be related to brain chemical imbalances in specific parts of the brain. Plus, changes in the way the central nervous system responds to and processes pain messages throughout the body.
