Fibromyalgia

[roxie60]

Anyone with CFIDS/ME/CFS also diagnosed with Fibromyagia?

If have fibro how did they determine you had fibro? What questions or tests were performed that indicated you had fibro? Muscle aches/pains? Joint pain? I know there is sometimes overlap.

I was diagnosed using the old ACOR criteria. A rheumatologist examined me and he used a pressure device on my skin to check for painful points.

Have a feeling that since then the ACOR may have out out a new criteria (or talked about a new one anyway?)

Roxie, if you are also expeirnecing fribomyalgia, together with your previous systems, I think there is a decent chance you might be affected by Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. Have a look at Table 1 of the following document and see how many symptoms from different categories you are a "match" for:

I did take a look Nano and I do have many of the symps. I have printed a copy and need more time to digest the paper and see if my Dr would be inclined to do anything with it.

Thanks eveyone for the replies
