Diagnosed FMS earlier this year, (after a LONG time of feeling ill) Back then my prominent symptom was pain since then I have been told I have 1)Sciatica and 2)multiple herniated discs in my spine,3)low vit D.
However the fatigue I have has never gone no matter what, no sleep, some sleep, even after a rare full night of sleep. I still feel the same, and god forbid I clean the house that puts me in bed for days afterwards!

I think most people have both. I have both. I think the Fibro causes fatigue from the pain. I take Nuvigil for the fatigue and it does help some but often I have to force myself to get up and do something.
I was diagnosed with CFS first by my GP. I wasn't in pain when it first started. Mine started with fatigue, weakness, confusion, memory loss, n cognitive problems. Dr did loads of blood work found out I had Epstein-Barr n diagnosed me with CFS. Started feeling pain about 6-8 mos later GP sent me to a rheumatologist who diagnosed me with fibromyalgia. I've seen a couple of drs that didnt believe in CFS but that was 16yrs ago dont know if they believe yet
