Just Wondering How Many People Have Secondary Fibro?

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Spring Hill, FL

So just wondering how many people have secondary fibro which happens due to other auto immune issues ? I have Primary Biliary Cholangitis, Sjogrens, Reynauds, hypothyroid, osteoarthritis. my doctor says that my fibro is because of all my other issues. Wondering how common that is.

I have several health conditions, but all the health professionals I have seen have told me that fibromyalgia is a totally separate condition unrelated to any of the other conditions I suffer from. They did say that sleep disorders and fibromyalgia are related to one another. I think it is interesting that most of us do seem to have other conditions in addition to fibromyalgia. Perhaps more research needs to be done.

NOt heard of it as a secondary issue... but, alot of the other issues you have, are a lot of times because of having the fibro...

I have Hashimoto's and have been told the fibromyalgia is likely due, in part, from that. I have read it is very common to have wit with other autoimmune disorders. It is more a set of symptoms because of another health problem and yet separate at the same time...if that makes sense.
