[Closed] Fibromyalgia - any experiences?

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

thanks, will have a look at that.

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.

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