Trigger points of Fibro??
Posted , 3 users are following.
I actually suffer from PMR and have been on Prednisolone for nearly 4 years. We all hate pred and I would love to come off it, however I still have a lot of pain and I wondered if I now have Fibro. I have read there are 18 trigger points. I have several painful points, but not 18. Does this question the idea of Fibro? Looking forward to any advice.

I'm not familiar with PMR.....
Have you seen a rheumatologist ?
It's a possibilty that you may have fibro but you do need to confirm this.

In the last six months I have had CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) and this has made me more mindful and I am able to cope with a day at a time and take control of my life. Although the pains are still painful, I am more postitive with my day. I am also trying ayruvedic remedies and it's too early to say if it's working but I wil report back if I feel any better.
Fibro pains can not be seen and people who are close to you don't really understand your pains. For me joining this forum about a month ago I feel more at ease communicating with people on the same wave length. It so re-assurring to know that you are not alone.
Hope you get more feedback to assist you.

I believe Fybro often starts because of stress. I'm not really a stressful person (there are so many people with far more problems than I have ever had).

But for me
I'm 57 and looking back I suppose Iv had fibro from around 14 if not earlier I was a healthy kid but but remember having pains everywhere, adults just said they were growing pains and that I would grow out of them,
When I was carrying my children had no pains but had very high blood pressure, I have two but miscarried two also, after giving birth the pains came back but not as often,
Life goes on they grew up and I always worked full time, Rhings really took hold when I started to loose my hearing terrible migraines and vertigo like you couldn't imagine crawling on the floor for two or three days having injections to stop the vomiting,
This then went and kidney infection after infection being hospitalised for antibiotics to work, one day I went back to my GP about yet another infection where she noticed my face was very red, she did tests for Lupus and they all came back positive, I was treated and seen in rhymatology for several years by now I'm in my early 40's
The pains never left you just learn to live with them living your day accordingly,
Then on one appointment my rhumatologist told me I have Fibro as well,
Points were in the back of my head down my neck shoulders arms rib cage back hips knees feet I had them all,
Iv had quiet times over the years and horrendus times, Everyone is different and can take pain differently but everyone's pain is important it's no more or less than the next person we all have to live our day the best we can,
My Moto is keep positive ( not easy I know) laugh (I do at myself a lot) will fibro fog it's hard not to with the stupid things that come from my mouth sometimes 😃 learn to listen and respect your body, don't be afraid to let others help you but try to keep your independence,
I know I've gone on a bit I can't use my hand any longer to type, but that's my experience on my fibro
Good luck with your GP
