Posted , 3 users are following.
hi im wondering if someone can help because i am getting nowhere with doctors. Last year around christmas time i started getting aches all over my body (as if i had the flu) now this was everyday and i was so drained, so tired. It gradually went away after about 4 months. Its starting to get cold again now and im feeling the same. full body aches, pains in arms and legs, dull pains everywhere. Sore lower and upper back, shoulder are sore and crunching. inside tremours. My body is so weak and tired when this happens. Please help!!

Hey Meghan, sorry you are going through this and I know how frustrating it can be. I am in the same boat plus IBS symptoms. It's telling that your symptoms seem to start up with change in weather. I believe this is common among patients with fibro. I have the sore muscles in the feet, legs, hands, arms, hips, upper and middle back. I also get the tremors in the area of where I experience pain. I believe it's fibro or maybe something autoimmune... I am waiting for an appt. with a rheumatologist to get some blood work. From what I've been reading about fibro and chronic fatigue syndrome, sounds like what you could have. Have you seen a rheumatologist?

seems to be with weather, i was thinking that myself. I also have ibs symptoms too. Also really bad anxiety with it all! Do you? I haven't seen a rheumatologist but ive seen a neurologist who basically told me im just experiencing bad anxiety. Puts me off going to the doctors at all as they just put everything down to that!

me too! Bad health anxiety and doesnt help that the doctors arent listening. I have 3 kids under 6, i cant go on like this anymore without answers!! My ibs symptoms are the same. Cramping most days, some really bad pains almost like contractions if youve been through labour. constipation, sometimes having to run to the loo as well. I get pain sometimes under my ribs but in the middle and i get really bloated feeling too. I also have really bad heartburn after most meals!

its horrible isnt it. I'm convinced its fibro, its just trying to get someone to listen. I get dizzy and stuff too, not sure if its all related but as soon as anxiety is on your record they just send you away. Me too with my back today and my legs. Most days i feel like ive been to a gym class but i havent. I know what you mean, you cant enjoy anything!! Its terrible. I hope your symptoms ease off and you have a good weekend!

omg, I've had the same experience with doctors. One of the many doctors who I visited in the past several months, asked me few questions if I lack motivation, if I feel stressed and not satisfied with life. I said yes to all of them and all that are because of the pain that I'm suffering from. But she said it's because of depression or anxiety.

me too! As soon as anxiety is mentioned your just brushed off! I'm so sick of it now, so fed up of feeling so drained and achy. Hope you get somewhere with them soon!
