no sleep is definetly one of the worst things...it spirals out of control...

I had it explained that there is a spectrum of certain pain disorders..........

RSD ------------------> Fibro----------------> CFS

RSD - severe pain, mild fatigue

CFS - severe fatigue, pain

Fibro - mix of both.

(this is according to one of my consultants). He also believed that full body RSD = Fibro. (I strongly disagree with this as with fibro doesn't lead to the same symptoms as in osteoporosis, swelling, colour changes etc). He has changed his tune and decided that full body RSD does exist now (unfortunatly).

Also, as someone said, if you have on pain disorder you are more likely to develop another and you are more likely to end up injuring another part of you....... (even as simply as using crutches LONG term leads to nerve damage in thumbs and palms) etc etc......

take care
