Have you had your thyroid tested to rule out Hashimotos ?

What I did was write down my symptoms and then I cross referenced them with those of Fibromyalgia.

I approached a doctor at our surgery with my findings and on looking up my records he diagnosed that I DID HAVE Fibromyalgia which had been missed due to crossover symptoms. This was a great relief to me as I had been made to feel a fraud and hypochondriac by doctors, other health workers, and benefit officials in the past, This missed diagnosis has had a great effect on my life both from family and social circumstances to financial which I would not wish on anyone else

I sincerely hope that you get the right diagnosis quickly.

Please note :- I did not have any knowledge of what fibromyalgia was until a chance discovery on researching remedies for scalp pain found that the pain I was experiencing could relate to fibromyalgia. On looking up symptoms of Fibromyalgia I found that I had almost all of them and had presented them to doctors etc both verbally and written down on many occasions over many years. Doctors etc had always attributed my symptoms to osteoarthritis and a trapped nerve in the neck both of which had already been diagnosed.
