Abstract

Recognition of fibromyalgia is crucial to avoid extraneous, costly diagnostic testing and ineffective, potentially dangerous therapy. Furthermore, failure to recognize that symptomatic physiologic change does result in a patient's response to stress demeans the legitimate importance of psychiatric disease. The keys to successful therapy are (1) specific pharmacologic manipulation of important processes and prognostic factors, (2) participation in aerobic exercise, which increases time spent in stages 3 and 4 (non-rapid eye movement) sleep and reduces stress, and (3) education, which reduces worry and perceived stress.
