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?)
