I've been looking up illlness that mimic ME/CFS, mainly due to my periodic desire to have anything more treatable than CFS ;) and came across this.

I thought it was particularly good for any "accused" of having MDD instead.

Unfortunately, it just reinforced my dx but good to know i guess. Sorry about the edits, I always think my brain is working great til i see my post lol!

"Fibromyalgia (FM) means "soft tissue and muscle pain". The soft tissues are tendons and ligaments."

And the muscle?
