New alarming symptoms

Posted by meryw @meryw, Apr 16, 2025

I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia for over 20 years now. My main symptoms were fatigue and minor pain in muscles.
Three years ago I began experiencing severe dizziness and syncope (fainting). No one can figure out why or ever connected it to my Fibromyalgia. In the last year, I have lost over 20% of my body weight (mostly muscle mass in my legs and arms) and for the last three months I’ve been experiencing extreme pain in all my muscles They have tested me for everything related to inflammatory and autoimmune diseases and even did a MRI of my brain. All of it came back negative.
Could this all be the Fibromyalgia? Has anyone else experienced these symptoms?
I would appreciate any and all advice, experience and opinions.
Thanks

I'm 53 yrs. Old, a recovering addict and have such severe (tears rolling down my face) pain, with anxiety, depression, it's gotten to the point where I'm not sleeping but maybe 0-3 hrs. Of interrupted sleep. I don't have a diagnosis yet. I've been researching and it all points to fibro. The e.r.s are a joke where I live and can't get an appt. With a PCP(primary care physician) for 3-4 months. It has become the most unbearable pain I've ever experienced on a night to night basis. Does anyone have any recommendations or ideas to get me help. I'm to the point of relapsing, I have worked to damn hard to go backwards. Desperate in wa. State
