Nowadays, they seem to be saying that FM is separate from CFIDS. They used to say they were connected, or some said they were one and the same. Then they said most people who have FM have it as a result of having CFIDS. Now, I don't know.

I have them both, and I think FM is CFIDS. But of course I could be very wrong. But the widespread pain, the aching all over, I really believe is due to CFIDS. Not the localized aches and pains, and the tedonitis and the trouble with joints and ligaments and nerve pain. I think that's all FM.

Are you very tired? Do you have what they call post-exertional fatigue?
