men. You are more prone to fibromyalgia if your family member

also has fibromyalgia. Rheumatic disease, like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, can

develop into fibromyalgia further. This causes pain and lack of sleep which can affect your

capacity to perform your duties at work and home. This causes frustration which can result into depression and
