I think they are related, but then in these bodies of ours, how can anything not be related, it's all relevant, right?
I have deep muscle pain, yet as many others here, neuropathy is not my only issue. Being severely gluten intolerant and not knowing it for 20 yrs or more, led to many issues in my body. My mom tells me to watch out for fibromyalgia, she has it as do her sisters. She has major back issues and neck, I have neck/shoulders/back issues. She had terrible headaches for years, I have terrible headaches, as do my brother and sister...plus my kids.
I have not been diagnosed with fibro, I do have chronic fatigue syndrome, which I find are closely related.
