- Keywords
- fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, painful syndrome

- The observation demonstrated early fibromyalgia development in rheumathoid arthritis. The prolonged non stopped painful syndrome was of the most significance among the developmental predictors; this fact predisposed to pain central sensitization and to the depression presence. The discrepancy between the arthritis moderate activity and pain high intensity was marked by the patient. The arthritis was antibody-negative upon rheumatoid factor and cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody.
