Fibromyalgia
This weekend in USAWEEKEND Magazine, I found an interesting article about dealing with chronic pain.
Fibromyalgia, for example, causes fatigue, aches, sleeplessness, brain fog and a low sex drive, yet, Teitelbaum says, sufferers often are told it’s "all in your head." They may feel depressed, helpless and discouraged, and metabolic changes plus inactivity can produce substantial weight gain—in Teitelbaum’s experience, he says it’s an average of 30 pounds.
Ahh, yess, it all makes sense.... there’s definitely a reason why cfs and fibromyalgia are usually said in the same sentace.
