This does NOT sound like Fibro or CFS. It smacks of symptoms consistant with MS.

I'm NOT a doctor or in the medical field but have spent five years researching and studying MS and all the comes with it.

I would recommend you review your current/past symptoms and their severity as to how they are impacting your lifestyle with your PCP first. Have him do the blood lab workup to rule out other diseases or conditions that mimic MS.

Then go to your neuro, or better yet find an MS specialist in your area, and have him evaluate you clinically and possibly order MRIs and an LP, if you haven't already done this in the last year.

It's all about gathering evidence and presenting your case. I think with your PCP's help you will have an advantage.

Please keep us informed.

You know I was just thinking, where you DX about 7-11 years ago. It seams there were a LOT of people DX that time, like it was the "latest thing" Dr.'s were Dxing than. I just think a lot of Dr.'s were quick to DX fibro than. All about the same time a friend I was working with with DX with fibro than I was than someone else I know and my aunt and so many others I didn't know, just in talking to others in stores they just got DX or there friend. Anyway all I'm saying is it seams odd that SO many were DX about the same time. Even talking to others online (even on firbo boards) I have only ran across a few that was DX outside that 1996-2000 time frame. Just seams odd to me.
