Sick Again!

I'm really beginning to wonder if all this

can possibly be fibro. After a horrible episode about 2 weeks ago, I'm back to feeling totally drained of energy, nauseous, generally very unwell and racked in pain. I'm really concerned that the doctors have missed something with my diagnoses. Any advice would be welcome.

sounds to me very much like a flare. Nausea is very debilitating. Have you tried taking travel sickness pills or ginger or peppermint tea. These helped me. Warm epsom salt/dead sea salt baths help with the muscle pain. Have you had your vitamin D levels checked. Low Vit D can cause all sorts of pain. Be kind to yourself and rest as much as possible. Can't really be of any more help other than to say someone more experienced will probably be along in a minute and have some constructive ideals. Hang on in there.

Thanks for all your advice. Yes I think it is probably a flare but I seem to live in permanent flares at moment! I am losing so much weight and obviously find it hard to eat when I'm feeling like this. Sometimes I think that I'll just fade away! I'm just feeling particularly low just now but will bounce back. Thank you for taking time to reply and I hope that you are keeping as well as possible. X

Fibro unfortunately has so many diverse symptoms that it could be a bad flare. I know when my back pain is very bad I feel quite nauseous. Also some of the medication can have the same effect. If you are losing so much weight I do think k you need to have a word with your GP. Do keep us updated on how you are.x

Hi sorry to hear your pain. Please make sure your Drs aren't blaming everything on fibro. I had to fight to have MRI and scans which showed another condition xx go back gp and insist on tests to rule out other things, fibro is awful and in all probability it's this crappy condition but you mustn't let god blame it for everything as it could be something that is easy to treat xxx🤞

Thank you. I have woken up feeling awful. Have managed to get appointment with gp. He is lively bug really doesn't know what to do with me. I have been taking 1x tramacet tablet in evening . This is a very low dose but wonder if I am reacting to it as I am very sensitive to medication.
