It might not be clinicians' favourite topic, but we need to talk about fibromyalgia; a misunderstood invisible illness that affects an estimated 2 to 5 people in every 100. This chronic widespread musculoskeletal pain is accompanied by other physical and psychological symptoms and has a delibating impact on quality of life. With no validated individual patient diagnostic criteria currently available, detecting fibromyalgia can be difficult and misdiagnosis is common.
