I find that I am in the bad habit now of blaming every symptom on these conditions and might be missing yet another problem (like any of us need another!). It would probably be wise to get it checked officially. Thank you for the heads up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 24, 2002 Report Share Posted August 24, 2002 , Some people are affected by CFS & Fibro, some Fibro alone of CFS alone, most have both however. One of the common symptoms is dizziness and headaches as well as negative changes in coordination, strength and stamina. A neurologist needs to rule out other causes for these symptoms, I had a brain scan for example and full spinal X-rays. Some research suggests that CFS sufferers have brain lesions leaving what are called " cold spots " = areas of poor blood flow. In terms of filing a claim for disability the more information you have to help describe your situation the better.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2002 Report Share Posted August 24, 2002 Hi , I see a neurologist for migraines, as well as follow up from my brain surgery in 1993 for a Chiari Malformation. I see my neuro quarterly to make sure I'm on top of my treatment. I think the brain surgery was the start of my FMS.
