I see sleep problems seem to be high on the fibro list but i have no problems with sleep. I can nap during the day and still go to sleep at 10pm. I am a light sleeper and im easily woken but i just fall back to sleep straight away.

Does this mean i dont have fibro? Im still not convinced i do.

My other symptoms:

Fatigue

IBS

Depression/anxiety

Years of facial/dental pain

Wrist pain

Hip/groin/back pain

Dizzy

Growing pains / restless leg

Sinus problems

Aching joints

These were all my symptoms and after heaps of tests and going to the physician, i was diagnosed with fibro then left to it! Im still confused and dont think it is fibro....

    Hi, sorry to hear about your problem. Have you been to see a Rheumatologist to get a proper diagnosis of Fybromyalgia. I was diaganosed in 1996 to have it but know that I have had it since childhood, my Father had it and tests being done in America show that it it genetic. Nothing much being done about it in the UK.

     There are 67 different symtoms that you can get I have 38 of them. Being able to sleep is not one of them, in fact NOT being able to sleep is a strong result that you have got Fibro. Go see your GP and ask to be checked for ME/CFS sounds like you are a more likely candidate for that. You can go onto www.meassociation.org.uk to get more information about it. Its very difficult trying to cope especially when you have young children, do try and pace yourself and take rests in between doing anything.  Jobs will always be there to do and what doesn't get done today can be done the next when you don't have quite so much pain. Hope you get sorted soon. Regards Anne61685

      Hi Anne, I went to the website you mentioned, but couldn't find any information about symptoms. I'm intrigued by the 67 symptoms and want to do a check of mine! Can you help please? xx
