Definition
Fibromyalgia is defined as “an inflammatory enlargement of the white fibrous tissue of the body, especially of the muscle sheaths, ligaments, tendons, periosteum and fascial layers of the locomotor system and marked by pain and stiffness.” The only way of definitively determining if this is what you have is through a tissue biopsy (cutting it out). Most people don’t have the white fibrous tissue although they may have the classic 18 pain points on their body.
