I was diagnosed many years ago with fibromyalgia and have had aches and pains throughout the years but nothing drastic. what I'm experiencing right now (past 4 days) is drastic, however. The trigger points are always painful but this time I have pain everywhere. For a little while spots on my ribs hurt even to touch, then my shoulder hurts, or back, or upper arms, etc. Although I ache all over, the intense pain seems to be jumping around. Even my stomach muscles are affected. It feels like I've done too many sit ups.(which I haven't) No other symptoms. Could this be fibromyalgia?

    Hi Scareddcat

    This sounds typical of fibromyalgia ...i have similar pains ...i seem to have it all on here, feeling like a hypochondriac but glad to hear it's not just me or all in my head ....
