Whats the difference between CFS, FMS, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, and Gulf War Syndrome?
Apparently, not much. The symptoms of each overlap the other by 75-90%. Many of us have evolved through CFS, FMS, and MCS over the years and some of us have been diagnosed with all of them. Folks with GWS are being found to meet the criteria for CFS and FMS. Most CFS, FMS, MCS, and GWS specialists consider them to be the same disease with different main symptoms, i.e., CFS = more fatigue and diffuse pain; FMS = more localized pain; MCS = more allergies; GWS = mainly CFS & FMS.
