Understanding the Association of Fatigue With Other Symptoms of Fibromyalgia: Development of a Cluster Model

Abstract

Overall, subcluster 1 had more intense symptoms than subcluster 2. FMS symptoms may be categorized into 2 clinical subclusters. These findings have implications for an illness whose diagnosis and management are symptom dependent. A longitudinal study capturing the variability in the symptom experience of FMS subjects is warranted.
