Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,

Thank you for posting your query on HCM.

Well fibromyalgia can have different presentations and all the features that you are telling can be found with it . But primarily it sounds to be a part of Fibromyalgia only but of if symptoms increase on intensity then we should rule out other possibilities like lupus or arthritis etc .

Take care.
