So confused - fibromyalgia and bones aching severely

Anyone? Please

Dear Ellyons87 -
Mayo Clinic offers some information online about Fibromyalgia available here: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/fibromyalgia/DS00079

I'm sorry i'm not much more help...

Thank you. I am trying to find specific people's experiences, but I appreciate it. God bless.

Find a good doctor that understand fibromyalgia. I have had this disease for over 15 years. Educate yourself and join an online support group. It is tough. Find what helps you and don't listen to all the "experts" out there that don't have a clue. Listen to those that are dealing with fibromyalgia. We know how it feels.

Fibromyagia is just one of the nusense of life that I deal with and I also have had it for over 15 years. Have my good and bad days but always find that I am thankful. Therefor, creates the best meds that no doctor can compete with and I would bet that they could relate. Our mind is our strength to happier living regardless of our circumstances.

When i was first diagnosed, i had been having SO many of those issues. For a year or so before being diagnosed, i was so sick most of the time that i thought i was dying. Once i was finally diagnosed with fibro, finally got to the point i could keep the pain pills down, i got over alot of those symptoms..
just took time.

Go to the pain rehab center at St. Mary's-Genrose 2nd floor. There is a diagram outlining fibro on the wall there. Says its all mental. How you deal with it will be your saving grace. Good luck!

I was told 20 yrs ago I had Fibromyalgia I thought it was a madeup disease when Dr didn't know what was really wrong.You didn't mention any mouth dryness and eyes? I was diagnosed with Sjogrens Syndrome about 6 yrs ago. Fibromyalgia pain was actually Sjogrens. Hope this helps.

Hi fellow sufferer, or rather fellow 'fibrite' desperately coping day to day. I've had this inherited disease all my 67 years but was only diagnosed about 8 years ago, because it was so poorly understood. Doctors are only now beginning to comprehend the complicated "syndrome of symptoms" involved. Each of us has a collection of symptoms unique to us, but we can compare notes and find out what helps us get through the day. I would first get a doctor who understands the disease and is willing to learn more about what helps you live a better life. Your health care team should also include supportive friends and family (or a support group); massage, if affordable; nutrition advice; and pain management, among others. Searching websites will give you more good information and more first hand stories with good helping hints to bring to your doctor. Don't stop trying to achieve your best life.

Dear ellyons87,
Unfortunately you are not alone and there are more questions than answers. I am seventy two was diagnosed about forty years ago and up until two years ago I was able to smile and pretend I was fine most of the time.Then I got a virus which was bad enough to go to the emergency room.Gradually I started with tingling and drenching sweats,electric shock pain-basically I now have body pain and burning from the bottoms of my feet to the hair on my head.It’s the body from hell. I have to laugh when the doctor asks if I am depressed.Fibromyalgia is not nice,.Thank God that research is being done so that possibly my grandchildren may fair better with new treatments.
