Unfortunately it seems as if they do come togather as a package deal also I was told I had althralgia which to me seems to fit the fibro description, I explain it to others as feeling like arthritis in my muscles, it seems to explain enough to not generate any more questions.
Anyway alot of rheumys will treat it with the lupus if certain trigger points are present that define the disorder/condition/pain in the neck!!
I am being treated for the fibro wth the drug lyrica it is pricey and honestly because I am in so much pain and fatigue with the lupus I really don't know if it actually works, my doc did give me a RX for neurotin which is a different formula for the drug lyrica I need to talk with her about any withdrawal effects and mixing the 2 drugs together what there side effects will be.
Anyway talk with your doctor about it and see if you fit the profile for fibro and then maybe they can suggest treatment options, I hope things go well for you and that you feel better!!
