I'm sorry you are suffering.

Here in the States, it is no longer just a syndrome, but Myofascial Pain Disorder. And is not the same as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Also, here in the States, Myofascial Pain Disorder affects your TRIGGER POINTS, and Fibromyagia affects TENDER POINTS. A good Rheumatologist is needed to Diagnose Fibromyalgia.

Many people with fibromyalgia also have myofascial pain. As do those with chronic fatigue.

I "only" have CMPD (chronic myofascial pain disorder.)

Many doctors are confused about what is what... the main thing is that you get the right treatment: the PT should work on your trigger and/or tender points as is needed, plus teach you how to stretch and excercise safely.

TC!
