Could all this be Fibro or CFS, I have been having so many symptoms since Summer. I just had a brain scan and it shows white spots and I wonder if this will be from Fibro?

I will be having a LP in a week, so may get more answers...

I'm not sure, honey. My MRI had white spots too, but it was not MS.

i too have had an MRI, waiting on results...I get daily numbness, pain and fatigue...Its so hard to define what is fibro and what is CFS, some people have both...I have stopped trying to understand what I have...or havent got, the doc diagnosed fibro and i will stick with that...Now just working on the symptoms and not worrying whether its fibro/cfs or MS...(found it all so complicated to comprehend)

Some people can have chronic fatigue, which could be a result of the unrefreshing sleep or deprivation from fibro, but not necessarily chronic fatigue syndrome...

Please let us know what they find out for you, I do hold a particular interest in this subject

Thanks for your replies. I will have the LP test done at the end of the week. Then it will take awhile to get the test results--it takes extra time, not sure why. So I will let you know.

It is reassuring to know that some of you have had some of the same symptoms and are not worried about them!!!!

I have many symptoms, but trying to keep my medical bill cost down. So I am holding out on MRI. I believe it's just fibro anyways, not too concerned. I just can't afford any new medical bills.

I get all those too from time to time, usually when my diet slips or my sleep is off, which is often. I'm pretty sure I'm nocturnal. Sometimes even when I do everything right I get some symptoms here and there, it happens.

Praying you get answers and can find some relief!!
