I've got mounting symptoms related to fybromyalgia but not officially diagnosed yet

Hi all.

I've asked questions before on here about possibly I've got fybromyalgia. A few more symptoms that I've looked up online seems to be on the symptoms list.

I am managing to function day to day, I think my pain threshold is high, I just get on with it.

I've been diagnosed with slight scoliosis which causes pain and sciatica which I've soildered through over the years, I've had reflux and hiatus hernia repair surgery, I've been diagnosed with Essential Tremor recently.

While attending physio sessions I told physio about areas of pain I was experiencing which were getting worse, she scratched her head and said that's not sciatica related and possibly some sort of myalgia.

I've done Internet searches and I would say I have 90% of the symptoms mentioned.

Getting out of bed it takes a good hour or so to loosen up, I have constant pain in my arms, constant pain in my right side below my ribs, constant pain and stiffness in my hands and wrists, neck pain, shoulder pain, pain below right shoulder blades which is tender to touch, sore tired feet, sore stiff knees, and the newest symptoms is pains in my chest going into my back which worried me as the pain is similar to the pain I had with reflux which I'd repaired, it was a relief to read on symptoms list that chest pains can be one of the symptoms of fybromyalgia.

I've given up work as I was doing a physical job and it was I feel aggravating my pains and moved back home to southern Ireland for an easier life.

I'm 49 years old and should have at least another 20 years of work life 😒

My next step is to register with my local doctors and get disability help.

Regards

Margaret
