Guest guest Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 After a lot of research, I have found that the symptoms of CFS/Fibro are eerily similar to those of Multiple Sclerosis. Has anyone else noticed this? My symptoms worsen as I get older and I seem to get newer ones. The newer ones are increasing fatigue, over-all body weakness, burning soles of the feet, and uncontrollable muscle twitches. I also have RLS every night which is something I had never had before. I should probably get an MRI but have severe claustrophobia and don't want one. Anyway, call me in denial but IF I have indeed developed MS, I don't want to know. My life is enough of a mess, I can't handle the news emotionally. Can anyone on the list relate to this? I am 51 years old, a single mom, on SSI, and have had CFS all my life and Fibromyalgia for the last ten years. I am getting progressively worse and my HMO primary care physician doesn't know what to do for me. I am thinking of going to see a Rheumatologist if I can find a way to travel 70 miles to the UCLA Medical Center. I live out in the middle of the California desert and have no friends, family, or resources here. Perhaps Social Services may offer something but I have yet to look into it. Anyway, any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Healing Hugs, Lynne __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
