Berta Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I get the CFS but what is the FMS? GRADUATE ! Nov 2nd 2007 American Military University ! When thousands of Americans faced annihilation in the 1800s Chief Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we." Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOA Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 If you are asking can you be diagnosed with both FMS and CFS, the answer is yes. The criteria for these while similiar have different triggers and identifiers. CFS is deliberate fatigue which has an acute onset and not relieved by rest. It is normally caused by a disease or illness FMS is widespread musculosketal pain requiring 11 of 18 tender points to be present. To be diagnosed with either of these diseases all other causes of symptoms must be ruled out ie. Thyroid, depression, sleeping disorder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Can it be possible that a person can be diagnosed with sufferinf from CFS and FMS? Yes it is possible. And yes it is possible to receive compensation for both. However, Gulf War vets have to fight to get compensation for both. There have been several BVA rulings in this area which are favorable.

Ricky Is it possible if can display a case retlaing to this issue. And I do not understand why will they give a vet a hard time if has been diagnosed with both issues.
