Living with Fibromyalgia: Advanced Treatments and a Human Approach at MIVI Salud
What is fibromyalgia and how does it affect quality of life?
The fibromyalgia is a chronic disease that causes persistent pain, fatigue, muscle stiffness y sleep disturbances. It can also generate emotional disorders, such as anxiety and depression. This condition, which mainly affects women, has an impact not only on physical health, but also on the patient’s social, work and emotional life.
