Conclusion: This survey provides a snapshot of fibromyalgia at the end of 2005, as reported by a self-selected population of people. This descriptive data has an heuristic function, in that it identifies several issues for further research, such as the prescribing habits of fibromyalgia health care providers, the role of emotional precipitants, the impact of obesity, the significance of low back pain and the nature of FM-related stiffness.
