It is becoming more and more common to hear stories in the news or to hear of a friend who has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. But what exactly is fibromyalgia? Fibromyalgia is a syndrome characterized by chronic, widespread pain, painful sensitivity to pressure, and extreme, debilitating fatigue.
People with fibromyalgia may also experience insomnia, depression or anxiety, an inability to concentrate or to retrieve known information, chronic headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, numbness or tingling in the extremities, restless leg syndrome, or poor circulation.

The scientific research also shows that acupuncture is an effective treatment for fibromyalgia. A study conducted in 2006 by the Mayo Clinic found that acupuncture was effective in reducing the symptoms of fibromyalgia, especially depression, anxiety, and fatigue. In the study, the acupuncture treatments were well tolerated by the fibromyalgia patients and had far fewer side effects than treatments using prescription medicine.
