Hi!

I was diagnosed with Fibro 20 years ago using the pressure point system. For years the only symptom was pain at these points. Over the last 6 months or so I have developed a startling array of symptoms that finally drove me to the Doc. I had blood and stool tests done and they came back normal which is good obvs but leaves me wondering how on earth to manage it. These are my symptoms:

Frequent migraines

Persistent diarrhoea

Chronic pain in forearms and lower legs

Swollen fingers on waking

Stiffness in hips and ankles

Night itching

Skin sore to touch

Lower back pain

Nightmares

Depression

Anxiety

  • to name a few!

Can all this really be Fibro? And if it is, what can I do about it?
