fibromyalgia sympoms
Posted , 13 users are following.
I've had symptoms of fibromyalgia for about 18mths but didn't know what it was till recently, had all kinds of tests and was told im a 'medical mystery' but the more i read about fibromyalgia the more I'm convinced thats my problem. I really want to go back to the Dr's but don't wanna get fobbed off again!! and really don't kno' what else to do..I can't sleep cos of pain, i ache all the time due to stiffness, i have restless legs, spasms, sensitive to pain, slowed speech and painful periods..i get emotional when i try to talk about the symptoms cos im so frustrated!!

They will be able to diagnose you fully and give you guidance to try and get control of your pain.
I am now under the wing of the Walton Centre Liverpool pain management team who I am hoping that they can get to grips with my pain issues.
Best of luck

You deserve a doctor who treats you well. That is huge, and you need a specialist. The Gupta program helps you manage tour anxiety/stress which is SO part of fibro, unfortunately.
I can say that light stretching and some calming teas and/or herbs will do you wonders. I know you feel tired so thinking of something to calm you more sounds odd. Your body is exhausted from the stress & pain. It needs a break.

who said what it was. I've had it with my gp, a couple of weeks ago she put me on Amitriptyline and a week after the pains were sooooooo bad I had to stop taking them. Now I can't even get to see her til the middle of November. I've lost all trust in them and when people say to me go see your doc this is why I don't. I'm so with you on the emotional side of things as well. Just thinking about it makes me well up and I can't really confused and muddled up as well. Demand your doctor send you to a professional who can give you some more help. All the best Hun. X

What a difficult position you find yourself in. But there is lots of good advice on here. You need to get yorself referred to a rheumotoligt in the first instance. Your Doctor needs to look at this site, and if not willing change your Doctor. Very important that you have a doctor that is interested in this condition.
Good luck, and let us know how you get on.
Take care, Anne
