How to Differentiate Fibromyalgia from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Dear friends, I recently wrote an article about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (a complex, multisystem disorder) that went viral on NewsBreak, revealing that the condition is far more common than I initially thought. You can read the story here if you missed it before, so I won’t repeat the details in this short post, which serves a new purpose. They asked me, what is fibromyalgia?”

The article sparked multiple questions, particularly from those who also suffer from Fibromyalgia (a neurosensory disorder). Some readers wanted to know the difference between the two conditions and whether there were similar things they could do to manage it. Having spent considerable time researching these conditions, I decided to distill my findings into a concise story.

Fibromyalgia (FM) and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME) are both complex, chronic conditions that share several similarities but also have distinct characteristics. CFS/ME stands for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, with ‘ME’ emphasizing the neuroimmune aspects of the condition, highlighting its broader impact beyond just fatigue.

I covered this story in a newsletter on Substack.com.
