* My, which means muscle. * Algia, which means pain. Fibromyalgia is a common medical condition that can involve discomfort all over the body. It can also involve other symptoms such as chronic tiredness and lack of concentration that can make life for the individual uncomfortable.

Alcohol can damage or destroy liver cells. Liver damage can lead to the build up of fat in your liver (fatty liver), inflammation or swelling of your liver (alcoholic hepatitis), and/or scarring of your liver (cirrhosis). For people with liver disease, even a small amount of alcohol can make the disease worse. Talk to your doctor about what amount of alcohol is right for you. When medicines are taken incorrectly â by taking too much or the wrong type or by mixing â the liver can be harmed.
