Members discussed whether it's possible to have fibromyalgia alone or if other conditions inevitably develop alongside it, with experiences varying widely across the community. Several members shared that conditions like IBS, TMJ, migraines, anxiety, and myofascial pain often appear before or after a fibromyalgia diagnosis, with some believing these issues fall under the fibromyalgia umbrella rather than being separate diseases. A recurring theme was that while some members do live with fibromyalgia as their sole diagnosis, many others navigate multiple overlapping conditions, and the consensus was that fibromyalgia alone is challenging enough on its own.
