Author(s): Sandra Deson*

Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and cognitive disturbances. This case study examines a 45-year-old female with a history of inflammatory arthritis who presented with new-onset fibromyalgia symptoms. The study emphasizes the need for comprehensive evaluation in patients with prior rheumatic diseases, as overlapping symptoms can complicate diagnosis and management.
