[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 84160"] CFS and Fibromyalgia are two separate illnesses and the names are not interchangeable. I agree that once given the diagnosis, however, they stop looking at other possible issues. Which is why noone ever looked at my heart when given the diagnosis of CFS in February. Of course, now no one is saying CFS; they are saying fibromyalgia. Both diagnosis's came fast - after one visit. And I don't know what to think. I looked at the diagnostic criteria for both again today and I seem to fit CFS better than fibromyalgia. Here's the CDC info on CFS: [url]http://www.cdc.gov/cfs/[/url] That seems to match me better than the fibro, however I do have pain flare ups. Who knows. [/QUOTE]
