An estimated 5 to 6 million Americans suffer from fibromyalgia, mostly women.  Symptoms include overwhelming fatigue and trigger points (tender spots). Their sleep is restless and non-refreshing.  They often awaken feeling exhausted with pain and stiffness. Additional clusters of symptoms and/or conditions can include but are not limited to:  migraines, irritable bowel, depression, anxiety and memory difficulties. Fibromyalgia is associated with alpha intrusion, reduced delta and REM sleep patterns, low growth hormone levels, and increased weight gain. Patients are on a myriad of medications. Presence of sleep apnea, restless legs, and/or insomnia MUST be treated.
