Is the ache toward the back? Could it be your kidneys? I have CFIDS/CFS/ME, and I had an undiagnosed kidney infection for quite some time, which led to high blood pressure. I even went to a urologist, who had a sonogram done, which was negative. But I also had bloody cloudy urine in the morning (which the urologist did not see, due to my taking Lasix at the time, for the high BP)and very persistent pain in my back kidney area.
My CFS doctor gave me antibiotics, and the infection went away.
A low grade CFS type kidney infection could also cause you to retain fluids, by the way.

Expertise
I can field questions regarding chronic fatigue syndrome. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 1982 and later developed CFIDS. I am not a doctor, so cannot "diagnose" illnesses, but I am willing to offer suggestions and support as long as people understand that I am a fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue syndrome survivor, not a medical doctor.
Experience
Having had FMS/CFIDS for over 20 years, I have learned a lot about these conditions. I have had a website at http://www.fms-help.com since 1996 offering support and information. I have 100 Tips for Coping on the site, plus many helpful articles, and I offer a FREE monthly newsletter for FMS/CFIDS sufferers.
Education/Credentials
I am an honors graduate of UCLA (1971) with a B.A. in Psychology. I also attended Elim Bible Institute in Lima, NY for 2 years, studying Bible and Christian Education.
