Fibromyalgia

[Edgar77]

It is worth looking up the symptoms of fibromyalgia. IBS is one of many of the symptoms. It is worse in the mornings, sertainly is in my case.

I have fibromyalgia and IBS

[nomoreibsc in reply to Lt63]

Me too. My doctor said there is a link between IBS and fibromyalgia. Often IBS is a symptom of fibromyalgia.

I need to learn a bit more about fibromyalgia because I hadn't thought of it before, but I often feel weird and not always IBS like symptoms but other things too which could be that maybe.

When you say weird what do you mean. I often feel weird strange head feelings, feeling unwell, occasional light headed.

Brain fog is one of many symptoms. Pain all over and exhaustion. I often feel thrombin and or sun burnt?

[nomoreibsc in reply to Edgar77]

Yes I do experience that too. The weird throbbing sensation in my muscles when I'm really exhausted. There are some great books on Kindle that's helped me understand more about fibromyalgia and how it affects me. Learning everyday how to best manage my symptoms. Trial and error at times. Taking one day at a time. Wishing you lots of good health days. x

I get heart palpitations and fluttering, slightly dizzy-ish sometimes, feel "ominous" emotionally all of a sudden, legs can go a bit weak for about 3 minutes with no warning, and a sudden weary feeling can come over me when I am just setting out to do some work on my land or for a walk, even before I've done anything.

hi there - have you ever had your heart checked out? My hubby has had paroxysmal atrial fibrillation for some time and your description above is exactly what he experienced before he was treated.

it’s not always life threatening as many people can have it without having any symptoms. But I just happened to read what you wrote and it’s uncanny how similar your description is to how my hub described it.

He has been on medication and also had a loop recorder implanted to keep an eye on the palpitations. He’s fine though, lives a normal life the same as most people.
