Is there a connection between obesity and fibromyalgia?

I don't know if there is a connection, but I have fibromyalgia and I'm in the lower half of the normal weight range for my height.

Yes I believe there is. I started gaining weight right before I was diagnosed 8 years ago.

Weight gain is a common side effect of medications prescribed for fibromyalgia. You can research your medication online or google it and try to find a forum where people discuss the effects of your particular meds - sometimes I think you get better information from the forums than from a drug company's official site. I like the website at drugs (dot) com. They have pretty extensive information.
