Fibromyalgia is not considered an autoimmune disease. Autoimmune diseases are conditions in which the body's immune system attacks healthy cells and tissues. Fibromyalgia, on the other hand, is a chronic pain condition characterized by widespread pain and tenderness in the muscles and joints, as well as fatigue and sleep disturbances.
The exact cause of fibromyalgia is not known, but it is thought to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurological factors. Some researchers believe that changes in the way the brain processes pain signals may play a role in the development of fibromyalgia.
Although fibromyalgia is not considered an autoimmune disease, it can occur in combination with other autoimmune conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus. If you have fibromyalgia and are concerned about an autoimmune condition, it is important to discuss your symptoms with your doctor and work with them to determine the best course of action for your individual needs.
