Definitely get the colonoscopy, but a combo of fibromyalgia and IBS (they often run together) can be that bad. Once they know what they are dealing with they can start trying some treatments.You might look at our Stories (click Real Stories in the menu near the top) and check out the optomistic ones to see some things that help. We have a chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia section if the tired, body aches, and brain fog end up being that.
