Hi all. I'm feeling very worried. I have a small swollen spot on my forearm, near the crease of my arm. It hasn't grown in size etc. and I honestly believe that it is harmless swelling. However, over the past week, I have noticed odd things happening. I have had tension type headaches everyday, my body aches, especially my arms, wrists, and fingers, I feel naseous and everything is poppy and achy. I accidently popped my neck and noticed that half of my hand and pinky went numb.. It went away, but I have noticed that my arms feel heavy but also somewhat weak.. Not enough to make me stop what I'm doing or lift things, but it's noticeable.. I'm 21 and very scared.. My 1st cousin was also diagnosed with fibromyalgia when she was 21. She said she had a bunch of the same symptoms I am having now.. Has this happened to any of you?

    Hi Lindsey,i was diagnosed about 7mths ago and every symptom you just listed i've had or currently have;down to the pea size lumps.I also have the sensation at times as if i'm walking in quicksand.Everything feels heavy and labored.What gives me comfort is that i've had all the tests and everything has come back fine.Its just one of the things we have to deal with.Your not alone.

    Hi Lindsey,

    It may or may not be Fibro, but I really would advise that you see your GP and have some bloods taken.  That is always the first step and your symptoms could be something totally different.  Good luck x
