Fibromyalgia, or fibrositis, as it is sometimes called, is a mysteriously debilitating syndrome that afflicts between 6 and 12 million people in the United States. The condition bears a striking resemblance to chronic fatigue syndrome and affects mostly women (female to male ratio is about 10:1) between the ages of 25 and 50. It is estimated that 15 to 20 percent of patients seen by rheumatologists have fibromyalgia.
