I have lupus. my doctor diagnosed me w/ fibromyalgia also. are the two related?

Increased incidence: There is an increased incidence of fibromyalgia in people with autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.

Lupus and Fibromyalg: Though there is no genetic association between the two illnesses since lupus is specifically an autoimmune disease, it is entirely possible that the fibromyalgia symptoms are simply an associated symptom from the lupus.
