   Hi,

   It seems that SWMBO has been signed off for a fortnight with fatigue problems and there is a suggestion it may be fibromyalgia.

   Has anybody any experience of similar?

   You may find this helpful, there's rather a lot to read:

   Are you suggesting post viral fatigue and fibromyalgia are related?
   Fibromyalgia is a much more specific condition - AFAIK. My mother had it and it took her over 5 years to get over it - although that is a long time for this condition.

   From memory, I believe the thread covered both. I don't know about either of these but there are some similarities with my thyroid condition.

   STW threads are not the best for medical education.

   Try this sort of site

   I love the Internet. I've read your link StuW and I've give myself fibromyalgia!
