This is an excellant article on this subject. As a sufferer of fibromyalgia I can tell you for sure that the points given here are right on track. The most devastating (to me anyway), is the overall body pain that makes you feel like you are burning up but there is no fire and no heat (except the apparent heat that you feel) and sometimes it's accompanied by a very irritating itch feeling. I think for most people it's very hard to describe.
