Did you mean Fibromyalgia ? , if so this is the answer
Fibromyalgia is a medical condition characterized by soft tissue pain, fatigue, sleep disturbance and widely distributed areas of tenderness known as tender points. It is a chronic condition with no cure that affects about 3.4% of women and 0.5 % of men.

Researchers have also found that fibromyalgia patients have elevated levels of a neurotransmitter - cerebrospinal fluid substance P - which is associated with enhanced pain perception. Fibromyalgia patients also have low production of the steroid cortisol in contrast to higher-than-normal levels found in depression patients. These disturbances in the nervous and endocrine systems may cause fibromyalgia. In essence, pain is not caused by inflammation or damage, but is instead associated with a central defect in pain processing. Some speculate that physical or psychological trauma may cause such changes in the central nervous system, leading to fibromyalgia.

Each fibromyalgia patient is different and may require individualized treatment. An active exercise program, low-dose anti-depressants, acupuncture, psychotherapy, behavior modification therapy, chiropractic care, massage and physical therapy, used alone or in conjunction with one another, may provide some relief of symptoms.

There is no currently known cure for fibromyalgia, because no one really knows what causes it--it's simply a set of symptoms that occur together. Doctors recommend regular exercise, stress-reduction therapies, and proper nutrition, which are basic recommendations for anyone who wants to stay healthy. In other words, doctors have no idea what to do about fibromyalgia.
