I realise I think I'm in the wrong forum I actually have M.E/CFS but find it so helpful here as it mirrors many of my issues etc and there's not much else on here up to date.

Alot of fibro sufferers have M.e/CFS it often seems to go hand in hand with fibro and as you say mimics many of the symptoms. I think jthat is why so many medics have problems diagnosing it. If you find it helpful stay with us, I was helping out here some time before I was told I had fibro as I found it to be a friendly supportive community.

I do have other issues but I found some of the other communities didn't seem to be very active and some were very negative all of the time with sometimes some nasty remarks so I decided to ditch these and stay with this forum. I found out that in fact I had had fibro all along but my GP had called it something else entirely!

Hi mysmugcat

There is absolutely no reason why you cannot stay on the forum with us.

One of the main symptoms is fatigue anyway. I also have ME so I can fully understand how you feel.

If you find the forum useful then please do stay :)

Wishing you a very Happy New Year
