AB ESSENTIALS  OF  DIAGNOSISMultisite  chronic  pain:  Individuals  with  fibromyalgia  describe  widespread  pain  that  waxes  and  wanes  and  is  experienced  for  more  than  3  months.Fatigue:  Patients  report  persistent,  moderate  to  severe  mental  or  physical  fatigue  that  is  exacerbated  by  mild  exertion.Nonrestful  sleep:  Research  has  shown  that  patients  with  fibromyalgia  have  reduced  short-wave  sleep  (SWS)  of  non–rapid-eye  movement  (NREM)  sleep  during  which  alpha-rhythm  intrudes  the  normal  delta  rhythm.Cognitive  symptoms:  Patients  describe  difficulties  with  executive  function,  such  as  working  memory  and  attention.  These  disease  features  may  be  explained  by  depression  and  pain.Exercise  and  other  therapies  that  address  both  body  and  mind  issues  are  essential  to  successful  treatment  strategies.
