Members responded to a question about co-existing conditions alongside fibromyalgia by sharing extensive lists of chronic illnesses they manage simultaneously. Several members reported overlapping conditions including IBS, osteoarthritis, asthma, allergies, restless legs, chronic fatigue, TMJ, vitamin deficiencies (especially B12 and D), anxiety disorders, and various autoimmune conditions like Sjogren's syndrome and thyroid disease.
