Body aches, is this fibromyalgia?

[Sunnyseas]

Hi there - I’ve seen a rheumatologist a couple of times now and fibromyalgia was mentioned as a possibility, also palindromic rheumatism. I had joint pains all of Saturday, then terrible fatigue & body ache yesterday, had to go to bed. I’ve had this happen about five times now this year, usually after some stress. Hands and feet tingling, ache at night made me suspect ra but I think fibromyalgia seems more likely. Bloods rule out inflammation, other possibilities ruled out, & I was under chronic stress for some years until the end of last year. Please let me know if you think this sounds like it, ss

Hello there , you are differently displaying some of the Fibro symptoms, I would book to see your doctor and see what he /she has to say, I felt much happier when I found out and got my diagnosis, signs /symptoms I was experiencing differently fell into place then. I have both CFS and Fibro which have similar symptoms , pace yourself and rest as best you can , would be good to get some answers eventually, take care xx

While your symptoms may indicate a potential fibromyalgia diagnosis, only a medical professional can say for definite - and it sounds like you have had other possible causes ruled out already x

Hello

I have had fibromyalgia for nearly 30 years . I've had all the symptoms you have had . I can't do a lot before I'm drained . I get very tired but struggle to sleep at times. My memory has got very bad . I have had pain everywhere you can think of . The trouble is the doctors say I have ME , MVBD , Essential tremors , Fibromyalgia Plus other things and the symptoms can all be similar. It sounds like fibromyalgia you have . I hope you soon feel better . You say you have had a lot of stress that is one of the things that can cause fibromyalgia along with child birth , car accidents , moving home anything that's a lot of stress. I believe mine started when I was very young. Hope this helps and you can work with the fibromyalgia. When you feel drained tired etc rest .
