AB  - This  condition  is  considered  a  syndrome  of  chronic  muscle  pain  associated  with  a  neurohormonal  dysfunction  of  the  autonomic  nervous  system.  Individuals  with  this  systemic  condition  have  widespread  tender  or  trigger  points  and  may  have  symptoms  associated  with  chronic  fatigue  syndrome.1  Individuals  are  diagnosed  by  a  process  of  elimination  and  may  require  multiple  tests  of  endocrine  and  immunity  systems  to  rule  out  other  disorders.  These  individuals  commonly  receive  treatment  for  depression,  which  may  also  benefit  from  an  exercise  program.2  However,  they  find  many  activities  difficult  to  perform  due  to  diffuse,  persistent  pain.  Individuals  limit  their  activities  in  an  effort  to  decrease  or  control  their  ongoing  symptoms.
