“Is This Fibromyalgia Symptoms? ”

I know I have chronic fatigue. I have significant burning and severe aching in my body and sometimes it's hard to stand for a small amount of time. It's tender to the touch on my skin and I nearly always have extreme tiredness. Does this sound like fibromyalgia?

While these symptoms are compatible with Fibromyalgia, it is important to rule out other conditions which would be treated differently
Those symptoms are suggestive of fibromyalgia patients usually have multiple trigger points of tenderness, This condition usually responds well to Gabapentin. Do not take narcotics. See your doctor.
