I say rubbish, I saw 2 specialists within a week. 1 diagnosed me with fibro the other M.E I just walked away shaking my head. They don't know and when they don't know they put a name to it to relax the patient. All it does is relax them. They don't know everything about the body. Yet they think they are supposed too. The human body is the most complex thing. Can you find a thought if you cut up a brain? Yet people have roughly 6000 thoughts a day yet all they can find is brain patterns. They will never understand the human body 100%
I think that is very hard to get a diagnosis, plus fibromyalgia can cause a lot of the same issues. I’m not officially been diagnosed with ME/CF either but I did go over my entire history with my doctor. He tried to treat me with antivirals but they did nothing. Talk to your doctor.
Jodi, I googled it and found great explanations. It seems like dizziness goes with it, feels like flu etc. I was always told that everyone with fibromyalgia has chronic fatigue to a certain degree ..some have it worse than others. Some are bedridden.
I personally feel I have both but since severe chronic fatigue is part of fibro , I have been told then they just diagnose as fibro? (strange I know) should be diagnosed having both FM and CFS I think.
Does anyone on here or has anyone heard of anyone with fibro that doesn’t have chronic fatigue with it? I have always been curious?
Jodi just my opinion...pem from fibromyalgia can happen anywhere from immediately after movement as mine did but now since I have been working on my cns it now appears up to 2 days after activity. I have been told my baseline has adjusted but I still get it. Fibromyalgia always changes. I understand and have felt what you are feeling. It's difficult. I wish you well.🥰👍
