Hi their I wonder if anyone could help me, i had a bad chest infection in october it took 2 lots of doxycycline, I then in December was told I had pleurisy, I gave up smoking in october and not sure if related but had so much thick phlem, that has slowed down now and I was quite breathless, so a week after i got told i had pleurisy a doc said my airways sounded very narrow, i have had 2 chest x Ray's after the chest infection and that comment and they came back ok, I have chest pains, shoulder back knee, ankle pain, I had b12 checked it's fine I did a spirometery breathing test that was ok I have had a thyroid check it came back low tsh but otherwise everything else normal and needs to be repeated after 6 weeks, I have bein refferred to phisio they said yesterday they would say fibromyalgia but because iv asked my doc to be seen by respiritory they cant diagnose that till respiritory all clear, because I have gone back to the docs in pain I have also bein refferred to neurology, in pain not really sure what it is I'm asking here just a little guidance in what people are thinking. I'm 29. Thankyou for taking your time and reading

Hi

I'm not medically trained so can't answer on your pleurasy but you do seem to have the symptoms of fibromyalgia. Please let me know how you get on? Take care Lynne

Hi, unfortunately no-one is qualified to suggest whether your possible fibromyalgia diagnosis is correct or not, especially as you have other health conditions going on and are awaiting further tests and referrals xxx
