Chronic Overlapping Pain Conditions
Did you know fibromyalgia is one of ten Chronic Overlapping Pain Conditions (COPCs)? Many people have more than one of these conditions at the same time. Understanding which symptoms are not caused by fibromyalgia can be just as important as knowing what is — it helps guide better, more personalized treatment. Sometimes the treatment approaches overlap, but knowing the difference helps tailor care to what your body needs.
