Can you have both polymyalgia and fibromyalgia?

Thanks for your comments, unfortunately I can't take Lyrica or Tramadol, they make me go loopy. And unfortunately I don't have a bath, sound fantastic though. I am shuffling along, I used to be able to do rock and roll dancing not all the time but we loved it. Now I'm sitting on the side lines watching everyone else have a wonderful time. I'm trying to just stay off the couch as much as I can and have just started to do 5 minutes on the treadmill on (2) yes I know it's pitiful but that's as much as I can do at the moment.

Feeling sorry for myself today, sorry.

@jeanneclancy123 I hear you! I have the very same problems you have and the same reaction to pain medications. Also feel crippled after the mildest exercise. I have not been diagnosed with polymyalgia but I do have fibromyalgia and going through what you are experiencing! Would love some answers too.

There are two things recommended to me in the face of chronic Lyme disease- and I have fibromyalgia and possible polyarthalgia rheumatica - they are seeing a physiatrist ( not psychiatrist) and someone who legitimately practices reflexology. They are very hard to find but I’ve had better luck by calling the state association of each practice. Good luck 👍 Everyday pain is not living life to our fullest!
