When To Call A Professional

Call your doctor whenever chronic pain or extreme tiredness interferes with your ability to work, sleep, do normal household chores or enjoy recreational activities.

Prognosis

Studies do not agree about the outlook for people with fibromyalgia. For example, results from some specialized treatment centers show a poor outlook. However, community-based treatment programs show that symptoms go away in 24% of patients and symptoms improve in 47%.
