A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, but does this mean that I may also have CFS? How do you know if you do or if you don't? Do they share the same treatments?

I was turned down the first time which I know is the usual. I have always thought I had CFS also because sometimes the fatigue is worse than the pain, but I know all of you talk about how bad the fatigue is with just the FMS so I'm not sure. My doctor won't diagnose me with the CFS because she says they are… read more
