| Descripció: | This study addresses a compilation of information on different clinical variables on the rheumatic-chronic condition called fibromyalgia, both in its definition, from different perspectives, as well as its possible causes, its symptoms, its diagnostic evaluation, the comorbidity identified with other diseases, the treatment pharmacological and non-pharmacological commonly indicated, the consequences of his condition, and his health care in the Costa Rican context. The results and the analysis by categories bring together the information gathered from three semi-structured interviews applied to a specialist in rheumatology, a psychologist who works with patients with fibromyalgia, and a patient with a diagnosis of eleven years of suffering from the disease. The main results of the study coincide with the literature reviewed, although it is recommended to carry out research with larger samples to reveal the national epidemiological situation of the disease. |
