What Is Fibromyalgia?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
10. Long-Term Outlook
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that can worsen if a patient does not commence treatment early. On the other hand, a patient who begins treatment early can lead a reasonably normal life with much less pain. However, all the available management methods can do is to reduce pain and improve the quality of life.
The condition does not go away. Still, fibromyalgia is not a death sentence, and many of its victims carry on with their lives once the condition is diagnosed and they are put on treatment. Additionally, fibromyalgia is not a progressive disease such that once a patient commences treatment, the condition does not get worse.
