FIBROMYALGIA
Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome over lap in symptoms. Sufferers of Fibromyalgia have widespread pain in muscles, ligaments, and tendons. There is 18 tender points with Fibromyalgia, I believe you need to have at lest 11-12 of these points for a diagnosis.
And you really should speak with your doctor, for a proper diagnosis.
You can also check the following links for further information.

Its typical behaviour of a unqualified person to say Fibromyalgia is a fake disease, and then claim pain is subjective. How about go study this condition, rather than pretend to know something you obviously don't. There is plenty of information about Fibromyalgia go and read it. MORON!

I can tell you if you promise not to use the answer to FAKE this miserable condition, promise?
waiting for your answer.
& for patrick (the guy whose answer is just below mine), I wonder why somebody is asking for the tender points?
i dislike this over diagnosed condition & like I said over & over & over,its more of a psychological condition rather than a physical disease making women whine & whine.
I hope 1 day the american rheumatology association delete this condition from their bible.
Its not a serious disease 7 will never be,its only pain (which a highly subjective thing ) & there are no complications.
the main cause is sleep deprivation (due to psychological factors)over years that makes the body tired & of course it will hurt then
