Is Fibromyalgia Life Threatening?
 |
I know someone who has fibromyalgia who thinks it can affect the internal organs and even the eyes making this a potentially life threatening disease. She says the pain is just as severe as someone who has RA and fibromyalgia is just as serious as RA. Is this true??? |

Unlike rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia does not affect the major organs and life expectancy is not shortened. However, the pain can be severe and equally disabling as rheumatoid arthritis. |
