Co-existing conditions with Fibromyalgia include:

Some of the co-existing conditions of Fibromyalgia also include:

            Chronic fatigue syndrome

            Depression

            Endometriosis

            Headaches

            Irritable bowel disease

            Hypothyroidism

            Lupus

            Osteoarthritis

            Post-traumatic stress disorder

            Restless Leg Syndrome

            There is also some talk about whether there is a chronic, subclinical (not a full blown) yeast infection component of Fibromyalgia. People who consume lots of sugary foods (sugar, fructose, and corn syrup) are more prone to yeast infections. Yeast infections can reduce your energy, make PMS worse, and alter your digestion habits.

           I also believe that there may be either thyroid and/or estrogen-progesterone imbalances that are present, but which may not be severe enough to show up on lab tests as below normal values. They sometimes show as low normals. These imbalances may be causes or simply aggravating factors.
