> Huh. I thought fibro, like CFS, was of unknown etiology. Do you know anything more about this? And once a person has a diagnosis, then what?
You might want to consider the wrok of Dr. Pall, of WSU. Like him, I see FMS and CFS as spectrum disorders. The underlying biochemistry is similar, if not the same.
For some reason, his faculty page is not working right, at the moment, but there are links to articles about both syndromes, when it's working.
Here's one of his articles, from elsewhere on the web.

And here's one that suggests what you might do about such a diagnosis, if Pall is right.
