So yes, PN and Fibro can exist together. The PN would be the trigger for the Fibro.
Makes perfect sense to me. When I read you must have 11 of the 18 points, I know I didn't, at least I didn't think so.

My mom has fibro as does both of her sisters. So, I guess I come by it naturally!Also makes sense that the neuropathy may have triggered it, who knows!

We urge all doctors to take time to listen to your patients.. don't "isolate" symptoms but look at the whole spectrum. If a patient tells you s/he feels as if s/he's falling apart and "nothing seems to be working properly", chances are s/he's right!
