The challenge with FMS is not only that each individual
patient is different but also the suite of symptoms themselves continuously
change, with pain, fatigue, IBS, fogginess, hypersensitivity etc... being more
prominent at one time of another.
As well FMS causes unpredictable reactions to
medication that can obfuscate an accurate diagnosis. The same is true when a medication
that had been reliable for some time, suddenly stops working and new side
effects appear, which can be mistaken for a flare up.
This means that each individual case is not only unique, but also extremely
complex; something that a physician must always keep in mind when treating a patient affected by FMS.
