Can fibromyalgia kill you? - KeithD - 05-02-2023
Fibromyalgia itself is not a life-threatening condition. However, the chronic pain and other symptoms associated with fibromyalgia can have a significant impact on a person's quality of life and can lead to depression and other mental health issues. In rare cases, severe depression and other mental health conditions associated with fibromyalgia may result in suicide, but it is not directly caused by fibromyalgia itself. It is important for individuals with fibromyalgia to receive appropriate medical care and support to manage their symptoms and improve their overall well-being.
