Saw link to this on AOL.
My Dad was one of the Navy's first known cases of

I now have it. My wife has it.

Fibromyalgia, also known as FM or FMS, is similar to rheumatism, but is distinguished from other rheumatic conditions like tendinitis or bursitis because the discomfort and stiffness is widespread, while in tendinitis or bursitis the pain is localized to a categorical area. It is characterized by protracted discomfort all over the body with multiple tender points, serious fatigue, sleep Problems, anxiousness and depression and all can be happening at the same time. The precise reason for fibromyalgia isn’t known, and ladies are ten times surer to notice the effects of FM than men.
Fibromyalgia is categorized as either first or secondary. Idiopathic fibromyalgia is another name for the primary form. The secondary form of this debilitating disease is due to several conditions such as cancer, lupus, hypothyroidism, or HIV, as well as any kind of physical trauma.
Fibromyalgia is a major neurological condition that causes discomfort in the musculoskeletal system. A main characteristic of fibromyalgia is an obvious state of fatigue that takes over the entire body. Though the discomfort reported by people with fibromyalgia is present, it happens in-house of unusual brain activity.

That would make sense as my paternal Grandmother, my Dad, and now I, all have Neuropathy, albeit different forms.
And Dad's sister, my Aunt, developed MS a decade or so back.
Something is neurologically wrong in this family and looks to be hereditary.
