Pituitary tumor symptoms: joint, muscle and body aches

I too was told by Mayo back in 2017 that I had Fibromyalgia. Muscle pain was not one of my complaints. I was severely fatigued & lightheaded. Sometimes, I think Fibromyalgia is a ‘catch-all’ for unknown. Now…6 years of suffering later, I found out that I have severe stenosis of my celiac artery (in abdomen) caused by MALS. What is it w/all the Fibromyalgia diagnosis? It’s sad. 🥲

I hope you had the MALS surgery and that you are OK. I had the same- it took 7 years before diagnosis. I had MALS surgery 2015 and a stent placed shortly after. I had another stent placed last fall after a time of pain and other GI symptoms.
I don’t know why you got the Fibromyalgia diagnosis- no pain. Fibromyalgia actually is a recognized disease now. There are still many physicians who don’t know enough about how to diagnose it. I have it, not bad now. My youngest daughter was diagnosed at 15, my son at 10 and recently my oldest daughter. All diagnosed by a rheumatologist.
