Hi just need some advice ive not been well for about the last 18 months i was put on antidepressant's over a year ago 50mg for anxiety. Over the last 8 months i have been so tired itching on my arms, severe pain in my lower back, neck and shoulders, my feet are so stiff in the morning and they feel swollen the pain eases a little after a couple of hours, ive also started with sinus trouble and postnasal drip and dry mouth. I work 8 hours a day Mon to Fri and i can honestly say i need the weekend to rest after my week in work. I just want to sleep. I have had numerous blood tests thyroid T4, a inflammation blood test, iron, blood sugars all came back ok except for serum ferritin was low also doctor has increased my antidepressants to 100mg given me a steroid nasal spray and iron tablets which have done nothing so fed up feel like the doctor does'nt believe me i just cannot stand feeling the way i do the tiredness is awful. Hope someone can help as all my doctor has actual said it could be the start of the menapause or CFT. Im not convinced xx

I am sorry to hear about your problems. Does sound like a lot of symptoms related to Fibro. I can relate to many of them. Like you, I had truckloads of tests, all came back negative. (Familiar story for many on here). Could you ask your Doc to refer you to a rheumatologist, they seem to be the ones who diagnose Fibro. Also you don't say how old you are, but many of your symptoms don't sound like menopause, but I am no expert so please don't take my word for it.
Take care, Anne
