The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recognized fibromyalgia as a medical condition. Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and tender points. While the CDC acknowledges fibromyalgia as a legitimate medical condition, it’s important to note that the exact cause of fibromyalgia is still not fully understood, and its diagnosis and management can be challenging.
Recognition by the CDC means that the condition is acknowledged by a reputable public health organization, which can help raise awareness, improve research efforts, and provide guidance for healthcare professionals in diagnosing and treating fibromyalgia.
Please note that there may have been developments or updates regarding fibromyalgia recognition and research since my last knowledge update in September 2021. It’s advisable to consult more recent sources or the CDC’s official website for the most up-to-date information on fibromyalgia and its recognition.
The pain is real!
