    Good question...I have been diagnosed with CFS....with probable fibro pain especially in my chest. I constantly wonder how much of the latter is anxiety driven. My thought are that it is real however anxiety makes it much worse...it adds a layer or two especially when bad.

      Your pain is still there or recovered? I have wide spread pain and CFS too. My doctor says I have Fibro, but I do not believe that. I always think my thyroid has problem.
