I have both also. I often wonder if fibro isn't related to neuropathy also. Sometimes it is difficult to know which you are suffering from, or maybe they feed off of each other. Fibro involves nerves also, I believe. The nerves, which are located throughout your body, are the sites where you first receive impulses and also the site where you start to process and transmit them. In fact, nerves are the starting point of your pain. So how can we tell the difference. I was diagnosed with my neuropathy first about 6 yrs ago, my fibro this last April.
