Fibromyalgia Support Group
You're not alone in your pain. Fibromyalgia is a condition that can be difficult to diagnose and manage. If you're trying to cope with pain throughout your body, sleep problems, general fatigue, or other common fibromyalgia symptoms, you're in the right place. The community is here for you to talk about therapies and share your challenges.
Not sure if anyone is interested, just thought I would share the info before I go to bed and forget all about it. LOL

It also only applies specifically to CFS - fibromyalgia is only mentioned once in passing in the footnotes referring to tender points and differentiating it from CFS.
