Fibro is typically a collection of symptoms, including:
Chronic pain, chronic fatigue, digestion problems, headaches, sensitivity to smells, sleeping for hours but feeling unrested, etc.
Doctors believe that Fibro is caused by a failure to reach full REM. The other symptoms pop up because of chronic sleep depravation.
I was diagnosed with Fibro last year. Lyrica turned me into a drooling zombie.
Went to a different doctor and was diagnosed with Systemic Candidas. Changed my diet, took some herbal medication, and 9 years of progressively worsening agony disappeared in 3 days. Candidas and Fibro share a lot of the same symptoms, so it's possible she may have Candidas, instead. Worth checking out first.
Thanks for the very valuable info; I’ll check around.
