I've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, a
chronic pain disorder. That being said, I
also display many symptoms of chronic
fatigue syndrome... to the point where I'm
seeing a doc about it this week. I've been
told the two are very much related;
possibly intermeshed in many ways. My
chiropractor told me that many people who
are diagnosed with fibromyalgia also have
chronic fatigue and may not know it. They
can go hand-in-hand, but not always, which
may be the only reason why they have two
names. ?? Not sure. (I've got to be ruled
out for mono and pneumonia first because
of some other symptoms I'm having, but I'm
going to the doc first thing Monday.)
