Royal Society of Medicine and Fibromyalgia Action UK - FMAUK Webinar: Fibromyalgia in the 21st century: Redefining care

On the 10th October 2022, The Royal Society of Medicine held a webinar in association with Fibromyalgia Action UK titled “Fibromyalgia in the 21st century: Redefining care”.

The webinar consisted of patients talking about their lived experience of fibromyalgia (FM) and clinicians who provided updates on scientific knowledge and best clinical guidelines.

Lots of recommendations of exercise in this. Looks like a diagnosis of fibromyalgia could still cause people who have ME/CFS problems.

I didn't find the responses to the following MEA question convincing:
"Many people with Fibromyalgia also have ME/CFS which may/may not have been diagnosed at the point of delivery. Graded Exercise Therapy is no longer recommended in the NICE Guideline on ME/CFS. Is there a need to look for Post-Exertional Malaise (also seen in Long Covid) before recommending exercise (GET) to people with Fibromyalgia?"
