Are the symptoms of fibromyalgia and cronic fatigue syndrome alike? Sorry nutter2b my brain went blank for a few when I asked what it is{cfs} … I have the symptoms of fibromyalgia and was prescribed lyrica but I am not happy with the side effects of it. I have alot of tiredness, some day’s not being able to move much at all. Are there other tests for CFS?
there are no specific test fro cfids either
there is still debate if tehre are the same condition or not
the symtpoms over lap a lot
if you have more flu like symptoms with more fatigueit is usually called CFIDS
if you have more pain it is usaully called fms
the 3 approved meds are
LYRICA (ANTI SEIZURE)
CYMBALTA and SAVELLA (SNRI)
other drugs in these classes can be tried
for insatnce—neurontin instead of lyrica
be sure to research and confirm your diagnosis–there is a lot of misinfotmation out there–and fms is highly over diagnosed by incompetant doctors
