High comorbidity of CFS and fibromyalgia. Could treatments of fibromyalgia help with CFS?

Can't do the same things you could before you were ill, now that a psychobabbler has declared you are recovered? It's all down to aging!
"Future Directions"
- MAPP style collaborations
- Comorbidity research to better understand mechanisms and risk
- Prospective observational studies to understand natural history with and without comorbidities
- Clinical trials specifically designed to address cormorbid conditions
- Twin and genetic studies to identify potential treatment segments
I'm not listening in but have scanned the evidence review briefly, and am generally pleasantly surprised. Glad to see Rituximab mentioned several times, and the flaws of PACE included....
So basically we should continue to muddle the diagnosis and research as much as possibleFocusing on comorbidity can help with understanding with diseases.
