UpToDate Fibromyalgia in children and adolescents: " Fibromyalgia is a poorly understood disease characterized most frequently by chronic and diffuse musculoskeletal pain, severe fatigue, and non-refreshing sleep. Initially described in adults, the disorder also affects children and adolescents [1-4]. Physical examination reveals well-defined areas of the body that are especially sensitive to pressure, referred to as tender points. Affected individuals are predominantly female and in early adolescence at the onset of the disease. The disease may interfere with normal functioning and therefore needs prompt diagnosis and treatment."
