Study: Are Fibromyalgia patients as inactive as they say they are?
Tuesday 10 March 2009
A small study compared two sets of people – one with
Fibromyalgiaand the other with rheumatoid arthritis – and found that both groups of people were symptomatically very similar.
The results of the study were published in Clinical Rheumatology.
Here’s what the researchers (Graham Raftery et al) said:
“Both fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients self-report similar disability.
These diseases are viewed differently by the medical profession - as one has ample evidence of tissue damage and inflammation and the other does not.
We were interested to see if an objective measure produced similar results.”
