Fibromyalgia – 12 Signs & Symptoms

Extreme Sensitivity

This health condition makes your body more sensitive to pain. In fact, people with fibromyalgia may complain of a great pain even to the slightest touch.

In certain situations where you hurt yourself knowing or not, like subbing your left toe, the pain may not go away within a few minutes but stays longer. This health condition is called hyperalgesia.

Also, you may find something that usually doesn’t hurt very pain, such as a very gentle touch. This condition in medical terms is called allodynia.

In addition, people with fibromyalgia may be sensitive to other things like bright lights, certain foods, and smoke. Thus, exposing yourself to things that are very sensitive to you can flare up your other fibromyalgia symptoms. [3]
