Fibromyalgia is a disease that affects millions of people, mainly women that cause chronic pain, fatigue and cognitive problems. There is disagreement about the causes of fibromyalgia, sometimes called fibro or FMS, some say it is caused by nerves, some say it is hereditary, while others say it is caused by trauma. Many still believe fibromyalgia is psychosomatic, but is real for those who suffer.
There is no cure for fibromyalgia, it can not be managed. This is usually done by a combination of medication, rest, exercise and stress reduction. But you can control and what is important, in other words, perhaps better. Many people with fibromyalgia are still able to live productive and rewarding lives, some lifestyle changes needed.
Three Steps
If you have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, here are three things you can do today to help overcome the disease.

Fibromyalgia is both affected by stress and causes stress. Many patients feel that they can not continue with their lives and feel useless, unproductive, and want to stay in bed all day. They are thus convinced or have been convinced by others that will no longer be able to contribute. Getting out of bed and do something, even something as simple as breakfast or walking the dog, at least they are doing something productive. They are gradually beginning to feel better and symptoms of fibromyalgia actually decrease.
2. Set goals: One way to help cope with fibromyalgia is to set goals for yourself each day. Whether you work or not, make a list of things you want to achieve and score when you complete them.

Many fibromyalgia patients often have cognitive problems, also known as fibro fog, they forget what they do or how to do something, even something they have done for years. This is one of the most difficult symptoms for many patients to be treated.
3. Think positive: As Norman Vincent Peale used to say: "Never underestimate the power of positive thinking." Positive thinking helps fibromyalgia patients remain motivated and help feeling sorry for themselves.
