My son suffered from fatigue, aches and pains as well as fainting spells for about 18 months. He then took an epileptic fit and is now epileptic. My ex husband has just told me he has fibromyalgia. Could this be the problem with my son? He started being unwell when he was 21 - 3 years ago.
I can't find a firm link between fibromyalgia and epilepsy beyond a few people on forums who suffer both.
Following the conversations, it seems that the epilepsy preceded the fibromyalgia, as I would have expected, even if it wasn't diagnosed in childhood.
