Immune system: Connective diseases such as lupus and scleroderma are diseases that result from the immune system attacking the body itself. Fibromyalgia is a syndrome of symptoms including fatigue, non-restful sleep, and widespread pain. Its cause is unknown. It may be due to imbalance in chemicals in the nerves in the brain.
