Hi

Hi I have problems with nerves, spine, bulging discs. I get flare ups of sciatica and now my doctor at hospital thinks I may have fibromyalgia.

I use to love going out dancing, taking my dog for long walks now I’m on the sick most of the time and in pain constantly.

May lose my job don’t know what I’m going to do. My daughter is due to start uni in September feel like I’m letting her down sometimes as I can’t do much.

Just not in a good place. I’m due to go back to work next week after a month off. Feeling anxious about it and I no I’m not right to go back but suppose I need to show willing!

Fibromyalgia is a major source of pain and so difficut for doctors to diagnose as each person presents differently.

I would make sure everything else has been ruled out - vitamin and mineral deficiencies - low thyroid - gluten sesitivities - and so on ...

Always ask for copies of results with ranges so you can monitor your health and check what has been missed 😊 They are legally yours. Many surgeries now have on-line access - so worth checking.

Also be aware Docs have a habit of declaring results fine/normal/OK - when they mean in range. For optimal health it is where you are in the range that is important ...

Thankyou so much for the advice.

Sometimes I’m in so much pain my mind turns to mush (it’s like that most of the time).

I have had a health check, blood tests but will ask for those.

Just to know what you definitely have is a good starting point!

Thanks again hope you are well.
