Summary
This study looked at how doomscrolling—compulsively reading negative news online—and social media addiction affect people with fibromyalgia, a condition causing widespread pain and fatigue. Researchers surveyed 173 adults aged 18-49 to measure their social media habits, fear of missing out, and fibromyalgia-related disability. The goal was to understand if these digital behaviors make fibromyalgia symptoms worse, which could help design better support strategies.
