The American College of Rheumatology has set criteria by which fibromyalgia symptoms can be classified. These symptoms consist of a history of widespread pain for three or more months and pain in 11 of 18 tender point sites when about 9 pounds of pressure is applied. If accompanied by chronic fatigue and non-restorative sleep, when you wake up and feel as if you haven’t slept, there is a strong suspicion that fibromyalgia is to blame.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/A38BAB03-B3A2-482C-AC45-5F3B4671448F/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
