The worst part of FM is getting people to believe you. I have been dealing with this for years now. I am in incredible pain and have all the other symptoms of FM as well and its been an uphill battle with people in my life and doctors. At first they think you are a drug seeker then lazy then over time they will finally become convinced but being misunderstood has been the worsts part of it. I wish that doctors and scientists would buckle down and figure this one out.

im currently dealing with FM and diabetic Neuropothy ( very severe ), no medications have helped and it i think it takes a toll on me more mentally then psyically. the pain is never ending. it's very hard to distinquish between where the aches and pains are coming from, like from the FM or the DN. i'm still researching on what are the trigger points and what i can do to relive them.

FM & CFS are DIFFERENT DISEASES with DIFFERENT TREATMENTS
FM is diagnosed by a Rheumatologist testing 18 TENDER POINTS not TRIGGER POINTS (trigger points found in MPS)

I actually deal with CFS daily. When I first started getting symptoms I was a teenager and my doctor prescribed me anti-depressants, which didn't work. That was almost ten years ago. I now know - through studying pathologies in massage school - that it is CFS. It's always a great relief to know you're not crazy, or lazy. When my teacher presented me with a pamphlet on CFS I cried. Because it was describing me. I was crying because I was so happy that what I was suffering had a name.
