Fibromyalgia (FM) is a prevalent chronic pain disorder, characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain and fatigue that is associated with significant functional limitations. Its mechanisms are only partially understood. The investigators hypothesize that physical functioning (as measured by the 6-Min Walk Test) of FM patients and healthy controls is negatively influenced by resilience and pain sensitivity. The investigators will perform a case control study to test our hypothesis within and between groups.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Resilience score | The Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) is a self-report measure designed to assess an individual's ability to bounce back or recover from stress, adversity, and challenging life circumstances (Smith et al., 2008) scored ranging 6-30. | Through study completion (one visit - approx. 2 hours) |
| Performance in 6MWT | The total walking distance in the 6MWT is a measurement of how far an individual is able to walk (measured in meters, using a marked 30m hallway) within a 6 minute time period after being instructed to walk as far possible. | Through study completion (one visit - approx. 2 hours) |

This is a case-control study of FM and healthy controls (HC) that will be enrolled in a ratio of 1:1. Healthy controls will be age/gender matched to the FM group.
