    Isn't that term used when there is more than one thing going on? for example I suffer with Joint hypermobility syndrome with an element of fibro - whilst my problems are mainly JHS my GP has said I also have a few of fibro trigger points thus have an element (not primary diagnosis) of fibro.

    Could be wrong of course (also have fibro fog and easily confused lol) but that's what it seems like to me
