@Jilliana how did you get diagnosed with both conditions? I've been diagnosed with fybro 3 years now and any other problems seem to get put down as just fybro
A friend of mine has said to ask about ME and MS but I'm really not confident that anyone will listen. Although I am hopefully seeing rheumatology
Good luck hun xxx -
I have had Fibromyalgia for 10 years and diagnosed with M E seven years ago the Rheumatology dept sent me to the mental health clinic to get the M E diagnosis because it is only diagnosed when all medical tests have been carried out to rule out other medical conditions with the same symptoms
