The middle part “my” is derived from the word “myo” meaning muscles.
The word “algia” refers to pain.
The word literally means pain in the fibrous tissues. Fibromyalgia is a syndrome of multiple symptoms rather than just pain.

Get the Fibromyalgia mug.A very real imaginary problem of hypochondria and psychosomatic symptoms. Recent numbers show a diagnosis of 2 percent in the United States alone. Most cases being in North America with no real recognition in many other developed/non developed countries. Most people with fibromyalgia are women (about 80 - 90 percent.) There is no medical way to diagnose fibromyalgia, it is a relatively new diagnosis in the medical field and believed by most in the field psychosomatic.
Bolstering this view is the fact that patients with fibromyalgia often suffer from anxiety or depression. And some patients who suffer only from a psychiatric disorder may develop somatic symptoms that mimic fibromyalgia — yet the primary challenge is a mental health problem, and symptoms will abate only when it is addressed. For all these reasons, the best treatment involves a team approach that includes mental health clinicians. Lifetime prevalence of psychiatric disorders is even higher in those complaining of fibromyalgia.

There is a widespread skepticism in the medical practice of whether fibromyalgia should be deemed a manifested physical diagnosis.

Get the Fictophelia mug.When someone is trying to sound deep or intelligent by posting ridiculously over dramatic philosophies or political views on facebook. They're likely not as smart as they try to put on, or even understand what they just said. Takes the words facebook and Socrates and combines them, which conveniently forms the sound "fake" when spoken. Can also be used to describe someone doing such things outside of facebook or someone sharing political views they likely heard on t.v. or from their parents, seconds before posting/sharing. A common trait among facrotes, is not knowing what you're talking about, or using someone else's words or opinions as your own, without actually researching the subject.
