Q. One of my friends is diagnosed as prognosis. Is it related to fibromyalgia? One of my friends is diagnosed as prognosis. Is it related to fibromyalgia? What really a prognosis is? He finds it as life-impacting. So please help me to comfort him!

A. Yes he may feel as disabled and life impacting. But it’s not an all time worrying problem. Long-term follow-up studies have shown that fibromyalgia is chronic, but the symptoms may wax and wane. The impact that fibromyalgia can have on daily living activities, including the ability to work a full-time job, differs among patients. Overall, studies have shown that fibromyalgia can be as disabling and life-impacting as rheumatoid arthritis.
