Fibro is a condition where a person feels a lot of pain in different parts of their body, like their muscles, joints, and nerves. It is a bit like having a very bad flu all the time, but without the fever or the sniffles.
Some days, people with fibro feel more pain than on other days, and it can be hard to do things they used to do easily, like going to school or work, or playing with friends.
Doctors and scientists are not sure what causes fibro, but they think it has something to do with how the brain and nerves talk to each other. There are some medicines and techniques that can help people manage their fibro and feel better, like gentle exercises, massage, and certain drugs.
It is important that people who have fibro talk to their doctors and other helpers to find the best way to feel better and stay healthy. And it's important for everyone to be kind and understanding to people with fibro, because they might not feel well all the time, even if they look okay on the outside.
