Yes, there are actually different forms of fibromyaligia. These forms are categorized according to the symptoms a person experiences. They are:
• Post traumatic – In this case, a single incident such as a car accident pre-dates the pain syndrome. The syndrome is sometimes an effect of an intense tremor or wounding of spinal muscles. Patients first complain of headaches and afterwards complain of arm or leg stiffness, itchiness, or pain.
• Repetitive Traumatic - The theory of this form of the disease is that a repeated injury can add up to the symptoms of fibromyalgia.
• Mood-Related - This type sometimes occurs when the patient is suffering from extreme anxiety or pain. As a result, fibromyalgics can develop mood disorders such as depression.
• Hormonal abnormalities, such as hyperthyroidism – This commonly causes increased muscle tension, anxiety and sleep disorders, another symptom of fibromyalgia.
