MPS, FMS. My doctor, in the past, has told me these are the same illness. I've always questioned that. I've had others tell me the same thing.
According to Stardynl, they are totally different - separate!

You need to understand both of these conditions to be able to separate the impact they are having in your life and to know how to deal with each symptom. Once you grasp the concepts behind these conditions and act on your knowledge, your health will improve and you will regain some control.
