Hi
I am 63 years old and have a few illnesses that make me think it could be fibromyalgia.
I have recurring shingles for the last 12 years as regular as every 6 weeks at it’s worst, I have had every vaccine and every medication, the only control recently has been on antiviral tablets for 9 months.
I also have had 4 DVTs the more recent ones have left me with severe nerve damage and muscle weakness to my calves and feet.
I have suffered for 13 years with osteoarthritis in numerous joints.
I usually wake up extremely stiff and sore.
I am already taking most of the medication prescribed for Fibromyalgia.
More recently I have been suffering with an enlarged prostrate I’m awaiting surgery but still suffer with pain all around my Prostrate ,my hip, groin and have constant UTI’s.
My GP has referred me to the MS clinic but mostly to rule it out, in her words she doesn’t know what’s going on !
Im constantly in pain which seems all over my body and constantly fatigued although I put this down to my medication and have very poor sleep.
I have had tinnitus for 18 years.
Fibromyalgia has never been mentioned as a possible cause but I’m ticking all the on line boxes.
Has anyone had similar symptoms and a diagnosis.
Thank you Peter
