Fibromylagia

Fibromyalgia is a common debilitating condition characterized by many symptoms, most commonly pain, but which is often misunderstood and misdiagnosed. Fibromyalgia is seven times more common in women than men and the risk of being affected increases with age.

While it is not progressive and does not lead to other health problems, fibromyalgia causes pain, depression and lack of sleep. These symptoms can reduce your quality of life.

Three-quarters of fibromylagia patients in Singapore find that fibromyalgia has at least a moderate impact on their lives. It is a very real, chronic condition that affects you and many others. Furthermore, up to four in 10 patients in Singapore report that fibromyalgia has caused the quality of their work to deteriorate.

Physicians who work with fibromylagia patients agree that the condition has a substantial impact on patients‘ lifestyle, both at home and at work.
