Fibro Fog and Dyscognition
Otherwise known as "fibro fog," dyscognition is the new medical term researchers are using to describe symptoms related to difficulty concentrating, disorganized thinking, memory problems, and inability to stay focused or alert.

feelings of guilt. Click here to

Ever
wonder what effect your sleepless nights have on your fibromyalgia pain? Studies conducted 30 years ago implied that the symptoms of fibromyalgia
could be due to night after night of disturbed sleep, but scientists were
unable to show how poor sleep contributed to the pain of fibromyalgia. Now

may help explain why treating your sleep could be key for reducing your pain.

Research on Fibromyalgia Syndrome Skin Sensitivities
Does
your skin burn or itch? Do you frequently get rashes that just won’t
go away? According to Charles Lapp, M.D., who treats hundreds
of people with fibromyalgia at his center in Charlotte, NC,
"fibromyalgia-related rashes occur in the majority of patients that I
see." Lapp, along with another experienced physician, Daniel
Wallace, M.D., of UCLA, offer their clinical advice about the possible
causes and potential treatments for your skin-related problems. But first, what is
it about your skin and its related tissues that make them so sensitive? Studies
during the past 20 years may help explain why your skin is such a nagging
issue. Click here to read eNews
