Hey, Coyote! I think that fibro causes CFS. When it hurts so often to do the things you need to do, over time it is going to affect your mind by causing it to develop a prejudice against the actions which cause the pain. And it affects your body because your body doesn't want to hurt. I've had fibro for five years now, and it led to CFS for me. It has also led to isolated bouts of MPS when my muscles freeze up to protect an area of damage or pain. So, for as much as my opinion counts, I find that these three systems are very close to each other, and any one can awaken the others. I hope that your fibro has been giving you a break, and you're having some good days, my friend. Good luck and best wishes to you.
