What symptoms have you got ? Were you meaning fibromyalgia ? There is a forum especially for this condition called fibromyalgia UK. That might be your best bet.

What are your symptoms terri19 ?

Fibromyalgia is a known symptom of Low Thyroid (Hypothyroidism) or Low vitamin B12 or both together.

Check out both Thyroid UK and PAS Forums (for both Pernicious Anemia and Low vitamin B12)

Thyroid UK, (Forum) here on Health Unlocked has a list of all blood tests needed.

My fibromyalgia went (over night,) once I was optimally medicated with Thyroid medication. Many patients are being 'missed' or 'overlooked' by their Doctors.

Get your bloods done, ask for a printout of all bloods done and pop your results up on Thyroid Uk for others to help you forward.

Also your vitamin D, vit B12, iron, ferritin, folate blood levels need to be optimum.

Hi Terri19, as Deejames suggested I think you mean Fibromyalgia? Also Dee"s advise about the brilliant Forum for Fibro suffers? Maybe you could go On-line, to see if you can identify similar symptoms?

Have you considered seeking Medical Advise with your GP? If they suspect you do have Fibro they can refer you to appropriate Specialist for a formal Diagnosis?

Good luck

Many blessings

If you want to know if you have it, then the only thing you can do is go see your doctor, and I don't mean Dr Google! Dr Google is great sometimes, but can't ever replace a proper medical assessment.
