Do any of you have fibromyalgia?

[gg1101]

I've been researching it, because I've finally decided that the chronic terrible pain I always feel in my shoulders, calves, and neck must be related to my difficulty sleeping, HH, anxiety, depressed mood, and general fatigue must be related. All I've been able to come up with is fibromyalgia. Anyone have this?

I have it in my hips and lower back. I've quit all the doctors and stuff because none of their magic potions did anything useful. The pain keeps me awake at night and really interferes with my life. SUCKS.

Oh, and it's starting in my elbow. Sad face.

I don't but my friend recently got diagnosed with it and she's going to all these specialists and doctors and stuff so I'll let you know if they manage to find anything that helps.

Have you actually had it diagnosed professionally? You never know, it could be something else? Chances are though that it's FM if you've got all the symptoms I s'pose.

There's several support groups online as well

Fibro is a nasty inconvenience. I had it from head to toe during my 20's and I was one of the lucky ones that went into remission. Now it's back and is attempting to ruin my life. Insomnia is a killer that intensifies the day time pain. Is it remission time yet?

How did you get it into remission? Or did it just go by itself?

After about 10 years of trying all the miracle cures, vitamins, not being stressed, it let up about 90% on it's own. The one factor that did help was moving from a humid climate to a dryer one. When it originally took me down it was instant. This time around it has been coming back slowly over 2-3 years and and it is extremely debilitating since I have more wear and tear on the body.

For the most, part fighting with this illness is useless. The more you fight it, the worse it gets.

Fibromyalgia has not made my palmer and planter sweating any worse than it is. The body still does it's sweating thing. When I do my iontopheresis treatments I notice that pain diminishes for up till a half hour after treatment. It's pretty interesting how the DC current helps with the body pain.

I have haemachromatosis. I think the symptoms are somewhat similar.

I've had CFS/FM/IBS for over 2 years now.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Fibromyalgia/Irritable Bowel Syndrome are all inter-related illnesses.

Terrible thing to live with but I personally don't think it has much to do with HH.

However, as these illnesses mess with the immune/nervous system it can interfere with body temperature regulation thus increasing sweating as well as messing with Serotonin levels thus increasing anxiety/depression which in-itself can increase sweat.

The sudden bouts of night sweats and central nervous system screwups affect my HH. I'm sure there is something related between the two. Either that I'm getting MANopause being that I'm male.
