I have lurked around there and there are people who have fibro,but not PN. In my liver cleanse book by Sandra Cabot, it says that fibro is a condition that can be caused by a toxic liver realeasing inflammatory chemicals.

But I have no idea. I think it has to do with my PN. My neuro refered me onwards to a rheumy, so that must mean that he does not have much experience with this, or it's a second condition.

Since the medical community still doesn't seem to agree on the validity of conditions like fibromyalgia,CFS or even chemical sensetivities, I think it's a case by case basis, and one needs to find a doctor who will believe you.

It's like gulf war syndrome in many aspects,as it's a constellation of symptoms
that make you feel crappy, but you can't prove a thing.
