if you have fibro.. how would you even tell if you had swine flu or h1n1?

The major symptom of fibromyalgia is pain. Most people feel the pain of fibromyalgia as aching, stiffness, and tenderness around joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Pain may appear in one or more locations at the same time and also in many different parts of your body.

The pain is located within the muscles themselves, as well as at the points where ligaments attach muscles to bones. Those with fibromyalgia feel extreme tenderness over many of these locations. These sites of tenderness are called tender points (sometimes referred to as trigger points) .The location of tender points is similar in all people with fibromyalgia and are, therefore, an important part of the diagnosis.

The most distinctive feature of fibromyalgia, however, is the existence of certain "tender points" - nine pairs of specific spots where the muscles are abnormally tender to the touch.

Swine Flu Symptoms according to the CDC, like seasonal flu, symptoms of swine flu infections can include:

fever, which is usually high, but unlike seasonal flu, is sometimes absent
cough
runny nose or stuffy nose
sore throat
body aches
headache
chills
fatigue or tiredness, which can be extreme
diarrhea and vomiting, sometimes, but more commonly seen than with seasonal flu
Signs of a more serious swine flu infection might include pneumonia and respiratory failure.

Serious Swine Flu Symptoms are more serious symptoms that would indicate that a child/person with swine flu would need urgent medical attention include:

Fast breathing or trouble breathing
Bluish or gray skin color
Not drinking enough fluids
Severe or persistent vomiting
Not waking up or not interacting
Being so irritable that the child does not want to be held
Flu-like symptoms improve but then return with fever and worse cough

This is the distinct difference between these conditions.

Fibromyalgia has also been certified has a Chronic Pain Syndrome, and at times it feels like the worse type of pain a person can experience. I have Chronic Fibromyalgia and it sucks BIG TIME. I have good days and then I have them real bad days.
