Symptom #2: Fatigue
Severe fatigue is one of the main symptoms often seen among patients with fibromyalgia. It has been estimated to affect about 80 percent of patients with fibromyalgia. This has been attributed to the sleepless nights that often leave patients exhausted and drained.
Despite how patients feel, regular exercise can be beneficial for patients with fibromyalgia. Many patients often report being too tired to exercise but this results in greater muscle weakness. With regular exercise, there can be less fatigue. It may also be possible that exercise creates a chain reaction that boosts brain function. To start out, patients are encouraged to work with a physical therapist.
