is this right
Here is information on Fibro:
fibroaction.org/Pages/About...
Bones that break easily would not be due to Fibro. Easily breakable bones could be due to low bone mineral density - osteoporosis or osteopenia:

nhs.uk/conditions/osteoporo...
Muscle weakness can be due to Fibro and associated problems (such as myofascial pain syndrome). However, it can also be caused by many conditions.
Headaches again, may be due to Fibro, but could also be caused by many things.
If you haven't yet been properly diagnosed, you need to be. This involves a lot of testing and referrals to rule out (or identify) other possible causes of your symptoms.
Hi cardiff,
I would get yourself thoroughly checked out. As Lindsey says, above, your bones shouldn't be breaking that easily on account of Fibro. I get terrible headaches. I always have done since I was a little girl. They have been exacerbated by Fibromyalgia. Have you been investigated for your headaches? I have trouble lifting things and get pins and needles and numbness or tingling and I frequently drop things due to spasms but I can lift a cup of tea ( even if I drop it suddenly...lol...!) so again, the fact that you are having trouble lifting the weight of a cup of tea, should be looked into. Perhaps it is because you have a weakness with your bones/muscles but that is for a professional to ascertain. I am going for a DEXA scan in April as I fell and broke my wrist about 6 weeks ago. I am 59 so they are querying osteoporosis. I don't know how old you are but you really should speak to your GP and/or ask to be referred to a Consultant who can do some proper tests to rule out other things before putting everything down to Fibro.
That's all the advice I can really offer. I do hope that you get the help you need.
Take great care of yourself and keep in touch with all of us.
Hugs, Saskia XX
Morning do pop to your doctors and have a chat get a refferal to Rheumatology and they will help you. Also ask if you have O steoporrosis need yoour bloods checked for calcium levels and vitamin d . Preventative measures can be taken which do help make our bones stronger Good luck xgins
