HEALTH NEWS LADY GAGA HAS FIBROMYALGIA.

Lady Gaga's announcement on Twitter that she suffers from fibromyalgia was greeted with an abundance of good wishes, but more exciting were the empathic responses of others who were faced with the condition. Not only did fans feel for the "Born This Way" star, they could relate - many filled with gratitude that Lady Gaga stepped up to raise awareness of a disease that too often is misunderstood, misdiagnosed or simply lost altogether.
"Very often fibromyalgia patients go from doctor to doctor looking for a response," says Dr. Elizabeth Volkmann, assistant professor of medicine at UCLA's Rheumatology Division. "Doctors will look for lupus or rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and when they do not find any, they will stop there."
Fibromyalgia does not lend itself to a strict definition or diagnosis. Essentially, "it is a disorder characterized by generalized muscle pain, often accompanied by other symptoms such as fatigue," Volkmann says.
