immune system exhaustion

hi everyone, my fibromyalgia disease progression means I have a hideous migraine most days now, constant exhaustion and indifference to myself.

on the bright side, I am finding clinical studies which are evidence of our illness. Thank Goodness. I’d thought I’d share a recent one. Subscribe with your email for updates.

This corrected link does not mention fibro so does not seem related to "our illness"

Hi Des, this needs to be clarified by the Americans as it appears all studies are linking CFS as fibromyalgia as ME is a separate term. I have read the relative studies where Nancy Klimas mentions CNS inflammation, mitochondrial involvement and returning to viral load. 🤷‍♀️ It’s as if dealing with each separately gives greater focus during the studies but are relative. Do you think this could be investigated please? Thanks

There is a discussion about whether CFS = ME or what the correct name should be. ME is more UK focused I believe. But this does not relate to fibromyalgia. The diagnostic criteria for both are very different as is treatment.
