Hi , I'm so low at a loss to what is wrong with me & the doctors are dismissive , all this year iv been back to docs with various symptoms , fatigue , burning sensation on my back , aching body , limbs in the morning and through day , sometimes I feel like iv even got flue ... I get a rash on my tummy like heat rash , goes once I'm cool , I just no I'm not right ,iv noticed it's not all the time when I'm really rested my energy pics up and I'm ok , then once I do alot of things and increased my work I get this feeling again hits me and I'm feeling rubbish again , last bloods taken July all ok , inlamitory ones all ok , have been vit d deficient but stopped taking tablets doc not to worried about that , iv also got digestive issues , which I'm seeing consultant for , and now I feel like I'm loosing weight ... I'm so low highly stressed can't get an appointment for 3 weeks with doctor , them prob have to wait another 2 to get bloods re done , I felt iv been fobbed off all the time as I suffer with health anxiety , they always put it down to that and tell me to try relax ... Anyone else with fibromyalgia had any of these symptoms ?

    Hi. I just came across your post and can relate to what your going through. I have had the same symptoms for 5 months now since having pneumonia. Was told I had anxiety for the first couple of months but I know something isn't right. My friend has fibromyalgia and is convinced I have it too. Dr doesn't like it when you go there telling them what you think it could be!!!! I've had lots of blood work, all ok. Going to ring drs now to try and get appt. It makes you feel low because you feel so rubbish all the time and not knowing what's wrong. Don't let the Dr fob you off. Hugs to you. Take care, Faye xx

    Got blood test results back ... All within normal range ... Except white and red blood count ... One point off white below and red high ... But no further action required says in form , I have print out but can't make any sense of results but comparing them from ones in July they are all lower than they were ... So I'm bit concerned ...
