I think with fibro especially having it over 20 years I feel like it actually becomes more and more a part of the disease. I used to be able to make it through the days but no longer. I am fatigued to the point as soon as I get up, ready, honestly Id rather lay back down. But I do agree as above they both are hand in hand.

Yes. Most of the time, if you have fibro, you have chronic pain and chronic fatigue, stomach problems, and alot of us have migraines.

Fibro, CFS and IBS go hand in hand but not everyone has all three or even two. I have all three my sister has Fibro only. One thing we have to be careful of is STATIN DRUGS. I have just had a reaction to those . Been on one for a year this morning I had the worst muscular pain to the point of not being able to walk. No more statins for me. Can't take the side effects anymore.
