New to this,does this sound like fibromyalgia
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hi,I haven't been to doctor yet but plan to,but just wondered if this all sounds familiar! Thinking back now,I think I have suffered on and off for about 10 years,where every couple of months for about 2 weeks,I would feel abit like I was coming down with something,body ache,feeling very tired,no energy then it would gradually go and I would feel fine,but also remember suffering back ache alot,still do,had hip pain in the past. As I have got older,I still get this feeling every few months but has gradually got worse,with achey pains in my arms,legs,arms feeling heavy,head aches,pains by my ribs,tummy cramps,and so so tired and my mind not quite as with it! I had a cold nearly two weeks ago and it started then with shooting pains here and then,rib pain,back pain etc. The cold went but I still felt rubbish,iam just starting to feel ok again,pains/aches gradually easing off. Was taking painkillers which helped a little bit. Do you get flare ups where your worse and then get good times? Sorry if it doesn't make sense,trying to get it all down but there are so many weird pains/aches,I think iam forgetting some.

Until the pain is diagnosed it is a frustrating time. I covered all angles and was open to anything and everything just to find the reasons for my pains. In my case it took 20 years. Partly I think it took this long as I was fighting it and hoping it would disappear one day and also started a family which was a challenge and a half. Still here suffering but it has made me a stronger person to deal with alot of my pains. I still do have down days but have come accustom to the pains.
Treat everyday as a new day with a positive note and hope the next day will be better than the last. Everyone deals with pain in different ways. Mine is to stay calm and stay positive.
