    Hi Deb, Fibro is something I have had several years. Fibro is defined by specific symmetrical parts of the body called tender points. If you look it up online it shows the front and back of a woman and where all the tenderpoints are. I think you have to have half of the eleven. Lemme see if I can remember...two on either side of base of neck, two on shoulder blades, two on either side of your upper chest, two behind the knees, two at the knees, two at the ankles something like that. Its a disease where you need to know how to pace yourself. For ex, I swim in a pool for an hour when I get home I am ok but soon the muscles will start contracting and I am out of energy for two more days, usually. We don't seem to get into stage three sleep or the stage where muscles develop and grow or repair themselves. I don't use lyrica as I understand there is a high suicide rate. Also, I once used elavil because of another unrelated reason and I noticed the elavil relaxed my muscles. Fibro is different from Chronic Fatigue as it has the tender pain points AND the exhaustion whereas CF just has the fatigue. Good Luck with all your learning.
