I do have post exertional fatigue. I have days of aching all over. In fact I thought the all over muscle aches was a symptom of fibro. I also have degenerative disk disease and I've been told that the fibro makes the back pain worse. And too, some days I am just so tired I don't know how I am still alive. I can't remember the other symptoms of CFIDS, but seems like low grade fever is one? I haven't had that.

Also have arthritis in my knees. Went off of wheat last June to see if that would help my knees. Went back on wheat in about 4 weeks and discovered that my stomach cramps returned with a vengence. Ever since then, if I have much wheat...I mean like even 1/2 slice of bread I get stomach cramps.
