Please briefly describe your experience of the pain and progression of Fibromyalgia
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi all
I am currently experiencing chronic symptoms including severe bi lateral joint/muscle pain and am trying to get a diagnosis. I wonder if I have Fibromyalgia, Polymyalgia, or even menopausal estrogen or hormone imbalance or something else.
I would really appreciate if anyone who has diagnosed FM would tell me how your symptoms started - if it was of a sudden onset, how the pain felt and if it got progressively worse.
I literally woke one morning three months ago with pain in my elbow and left arm and shoulder. It has now moved into both shoulders and my left hip. This pain was like no other pain I had ever experienced. It is a dull ache for most of the day, but with certain movements it is excruciating - a 'flare' of stabbing, burning pain which then subsides.
I wake up with very sore and stiff shoulders, arms and hands.
I have no 'tender points' apart from a sore area on my collar bones.
I have tingling 'cold sunburn' feeling skin on my face and backs of hands.
I am not tired, and feel quite well apart from this terrible constant pain - (if that makes sense!)
The pain has not got 'worse.' It has been very bad from day one.
Thank you for any response.

My symptoms started with me feeling achey and exhausted all the time which led to depression(and ultimately me dropping out fo college). From there the pain got worse, I started to feel weak and started getting migraines. At first this was bruished off as being caused by my B12 deficiency but finally after about 2 years I started to be treated for fibro
