Fibro caused by ?

My so called fibro turned out to be caused by low estrogen levels. Do you know what causes yours?

Ive been struggling with what I was told was asthma for years, then other symptoms, then after a hysterectomy it got much worse very quick. I now know for a fact my so called various illnesses were symptoms of estrogen loss.

One thing that has helped me is being able to go to a free prayer forum for comfort. I've prayed for the others there and them me.. and I am not religious!

Another is my rock of a husband. Nothing gets him down or is too much for him.

Have a nice day.

There can be many causes of fibromyalgia - if yours was dueto low oestrogen, then hopefully now they can prescribe medication to help you

I saw six doctors in total who could not figure out what was causing the asthma and threw inhalers at it. The inhalers either did not work, or made it worse usually. I told them I had my ovaries removed a few weeks ago and they thought nothing of it. I came home from the hospital a week later and researched all of my symptoms and it all pointed to low estrogen, it was hardly a coincidence that I had my ovaries removed a few weeks before. I insisted on estrogen patches and got a lot better.
