Just another list of reasons that I think they're using FMS as a wastebasket diagnosis until they find out what all is really wrong with us. That list (of which there are about 2-3 that I don't have, LOL) certainly covers all the bases.

Some of these I recognize, others I will need to consult my medical dictionary.

Wonder what a doctor would do if you walked in initially and said these are my symptoms? LOL

It's definitely been progressive with me and degenerative...or whatever it is that I have that they haven't named has certainly produced those results.

What gets me is that FMS isn't supposed to be progressive or degenerative--I notice it being both.

I agree with you Kathy.
