  • Title: Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and myofascial pain syndrome.
    Author: Goldenberg DL.
    Journal: Curr Opin Rheumatol; 1997 Mar; 9(2):135-43. PubMed ID: 9135918.
    Abstract:
    The diagnosis of fibromyalgia continues to generate heated debate. The presence of multiple lifetime psychiatric diagnoses was not intrinsically related to fibromyalgia but rather to the decision of patients to seek specialty medical care. Better outcome measures in fibromyalgia were tested. Neurally mediated hypotension may be associated with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Treatment of patients with fibromyalgia and CFS continues to be of limited success, although the role of multidisciplinary group intervention appears promising. Two position papers focused on the adverse aspects of the medicolegal issues in fibromyalgia and CFS.
