I suffer from both CFS and Fibromyalgia. I’ve been bedbound for 14 months…and I guess I’m just wondering if there’s a snowball’s chance in hell that I will ever recover and be able to live a normal life?

Does anyone know of any Fibromyalgia / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / Myalgic Encephalomyelitis specialists in the Las Vegas, NV area, including Henderson & Boulder City?

I was just wondering if anyone has any “tricks” for dealing with either disorder (I know they tend to go hand in hand). Anything that you have found that helps relieves any of the symptoms would be greatly appreciated, I am miserable

Also if you know of any herbal remedies that have worked for you I’d like to hear about them. (don’t worry, know my way around herbs & won’t rush into anything without checking it out first)

Thanks for any info.
Thanks so far for the info guys…has anyone tried using caffine to help with the exaustion? It’s been a catch 22 for me since I also have panic attacks & caffine makes it worse, but even WITH caffine I can barely move most days….without it I’m slower then a slug lol.

I have been sick since late october early november. So far, the doctors have not been able to diagnose anything and have basically been putting me on random medications just to relieve the symptoms. I have missed 28 days of school since I first began getting sick and I can only miss two more before the end of school. I’m only fifteen.
Symptoms I have:
Fatigue (sleeping thirteen hours +) i have real trouble making it through a school day without falling asleep)
exhaustion
pain in my knees, ankles, and weirdly my elbows.
headaches
congestion
ive had a fever a couple times..
ive been really nauseous occasionally and ende up having to go to the ER because of it.

Does anyone who has CFS or Fibromyalgia identify with these symptoms or know of any other possible causes?
p.s. All blood tests have come up normal, and I dont have rashes or bruising on my body.

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?
