My sister has fibromyalgia and has a lot of difficulty remembering things or even completing things she starts. She used to be a wonderful writer and now her writing isn't nearly the caliber that it was before she got sick. Is that part of the disease and will it get worse?
Fibromyalgia is a disease that is getting a lot of attention from researchers. It's still very much a mystery as to what causes fibromyalgia and what fibromyalgia causes. Studies have shown that people who live with chronic pain, of any cause, can see some changes in their cognitive abilities. With fibromyalgia, the people don't only have pain, they live with fatigue, difficulty sleeping, and often depression and/or anxiety. So, researchers have been looking into how this all affects the brain. The latest research is showing that yes, people with fibromyalgia, do have difficulty with doing certain types of tasks. If this will worsen or not, they're not really sure.
