Fibromyalgia is an emotionally and physically crippling condition that causes the patient to suffer from lack of sleep, flu-like symptoms, aching body and chronic fatigue. Patients suffering from Fibromyalgia often seek out alternative medicines because the condition is still new and many physicians don't even recognize it as real--passing it off as chronic fatigue, anxiety and depression.
