This does NOT sound like Fibro or CFS. It smacks of symptoms consistant with MS.
I'm NOT a doctor or in the medical field but have spent five years researching and studying MS and all the comes with it.
I would recommend you review your current/past symptoms and their severity as to how they are impacting your lifestyle with your PCP first. Have him do the blood lab workup to rule out other diseases or conditions that mimic MS.
Then go to your neuro, or better yet find an MS specialist in your area, and have him evaluate you clinically and possibly order MRIs and an LP, if you haven't already done this in the last year.
It's all about gathering evidence and presenting your case. I think with your PCP's help you will have an advantage.
Please keep us informed.
