Recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia on top of already having ms for 6 years. How do I tell the difference between the two when I'm having a flare? One thing I have noticed is that fibromyalgia seems to be a ot more painful.

I think the best thing you can do it educate your self as much as possible on both. Find pain solutions that will help with both so your not bombarded with different medications.

Isn't that the crazy part? You never know when it is the MS or something else! I am not sure how you tell the difference. I have blamed the MS for all sorts of things when it has been something else!
