Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome are invisible chronic illnesses that leave sufferers plagued with pain, fatigue, memory and concentration problems, sleep disorders, and countless other symptoms.

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in April of 1996 after 5 years of symptoms, that were not constant until 1994. These disorders are very hard to diagnose there is no blood test you can take and both of the disorders mimic other diseases. For fibromyalgia, there is a tender point test to diagnose with. Those with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!
