Symptoms of Fibromyalgia
Symptoms of fibromyalgia can vary from one individual to another, but they generally include musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, GI symptoms, tender points, cognitive difficulties, joint stiffness, sleep dysregulation and headaches.

The depression can then lead to loss of sleep and changes in appetite and suicidal ideation. Chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia can also lead to anxiety and stress that could lead to adrenal gland fatigue.
