===Are ME/CFS and fibromyalgia the same? === The publications of Nijs and collagues often lump ME/CFS and fibromyalgia together as if they are one disorder. For example in their 2013 book on the treatment of persistent fatigue directed at clinicians (written in Dutch),<ref name="Kos2005">{{Cite book | last = Kos | first = D | last2 = Nijs | first2 = J | last3 = Meeus | first3 = M | last4 = Salhi | first4 = B. | url = https://books.google.be/books?id=nap0ngEACAAJ&dq=Chronische+vermoeidheid:+een+praktische+handleiding+voor+de+revalidatie+van+kanker,+MS,&hl=nl | title = Chronische vermoeidheid: een praktische handleiding voor de revalidatie van kanker, MS, fibromyalgie en CVS|publisher=Acco|language=nl| date = 2012 |trans-title=|chapter=|location=Leuven|isbn=|edition=|volume=|chapter-url=|pages=|editor-last = |editor-first = |editor1-link=|editor-last2 = |editor-first2 = |editor2-link=|veditors=|others=|quote=}}</ref> no distinction is made between ME/CFS and fibromyalgia. The rationale behind this is that both disorders have similar symptoms and are (supposedly) characterized by central sensitization. Most researchers however emphasize the importance of dealing with ME/CFS and fibromyalgia separately, since there might be biological differences between the two.<ref name="Abbi2013">Abbi B and Natelson BH. Is chronic fatigue syndrome the same illness as fibromyalgia: evaluating the 'single syndrome' hypothesis. QJM. 2013 Jan;106(1):3-9.</ref>
