I am at the end of my rope. Don't know
what to do. It's a long story or
explanation so please bear with me.
I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia,
migraines, depression, social anxiety,
epilepsy, mvp, ibs.
I have about 5 doctors I see on a monthly
basis and I just added another to the pile
which is a chiropractor. What he has been
doing does help but only for a short
while. (mabey an hour max) The reason I
added him is because my back arms and legs
are in so much pain I can't handle it
anymore. I have a very high pain
tolerance. So for me not to be able to
handle it is bad.
I was told today by him that it seems to
him it might not be fibromyalgia.
All doctors can't figure this one out
either I do have a MRI coming up for my
lower back and shoulders. it's still 2
weeks away. I am going totally nuts here
because I don't know what is going on with
my own body.
I just basically need someone out there if
they know what it might be please tell me
so I can have one of the doctors I see do
test for it.
Here is what has been going on:
I turn the air on as low as I can to
were I don't freeze my kids out usually
about 70 to 72 also have fans going and I
will be dripping with sweat.
I can no longer play games with my kids
or do anything due to pain.
The migraines have been getting worse
and more often the nurologist has tried me
on many things but nothing has helped them
so far.
My back is killing me to the point that
I can't get normal house work done (ex.
dishwasher loading and unloading, washing
clothes, cooking)
My arms and legs get so weak it feels as
though I have heavy weights on them as I
try to do things. I tried hammering in 1
nail and had to rest my arm 4 different
times. (I have to keep my hair short
because I can no longer fix it.)
My feet get really sore when I walk
Having painful upper and lower stomach
pains
Have alot of trouble sleeping I am lucky
to get 3-5 hours a night.
I have trouble remebering peoples names,
birthdays etc. there is just too much
going on with me I break down daily
because there is things I need to get done
on a daily basis, and I just can't
anymore. It bothered me to call the health
dept. to get help with keeping my house
cleaned. just waiting to hear back. any
information is helpful.

I did go see one doctor today his reaction
over me asking him about it was. It seems
as though I have some of the symptoms but
it's just the fibromyalgia acting up.
Who knows it could be. It's just they have
me on about 12 different meds and so far
its not helping the fibromyalgia. It's
just wearing me out going through this.
Thanks though

It seems to me that doctors like to
attribute pain they can't diagnose to
fibromyalgia, and stomach discomforts that
cannot diagnose as IBS.
He might be right. It could be your fibro
acting up, but it certainly couldn't hurt
to do a little work up.
