Subjetividade e fibromialgia: diálogos necessários sobre sofrimento psíquico

Abstract

Fibromyalgia, a multifaceted syndrome, is characterized as chronic pain that affects muscles, ligamentsand tendons. This diffuse pain often leads to persistent fatigue, significantly interfering with daily activities and quality of life. In this way, the present article seeks to present the scientific historical process of identifying Fibromyalgia, which despite its definition in terms of signs and symptoms, its origin still remains a gap and a question to be answered in the future. The lack of detectable organic causality associated with the subjective nature of the symptoms present in fibromyalgia makes its approach and treatment actions that require multidisciplinary work. Psychotherapeutic support has been prescribed as an ally that helps the patient to understand, give new meaning and face the subjective experiences that are produced from this chronic pain condition. As an example, we can capture the wayin which Frida Kahlo, a Mexican artist, who since her childhood faced pains and traumas and from these pains, she expressed in her works feelings, revolt, her point of view on “an existence intertwined with painful experiences that often exceeded their capacity for tolerance”. Represented in his paintingsand texts, this pain that has no injury, no origin, but is present in a significant, subjective way.
