Hey feel free to talk to any one here and vent etc. Hopefully we can get you some answers. Do you think that you could have chronic fatigue as well?

So far, none of the doctors feel it is CFS.

I just changed PCP's in order to get a referral to a neurologist. The new PCP prescribed Lyrica but, after research, I've decided not to take it until I see the neurologist in March.

well be sure to let us know of your progress. and what you find out.

Thanks!

and if you ever need anything we are here to help:)

I am very sorry to hear that the doctor gave you a diagnosis to shut you up.
It sounds as if you had not gotten a full exploration.
It sounds as if some things have been missed. YOur symptoms are not sounding classic fibromyaglia. Do you have any family history of neurological disease or heart disease?

Please tell me some more information about your symptoms maybe I can help

Unfortunately, the knowledge of my family history only goes back to my Grandmothers. My Dad and I both have migraines, that's the only neuro connection. One Grandmother passed from a stroke. She also had heart disease. Mother has heart disease.

What kind of info are you looking for regarding the symptoms? I know I've talked to some fibro sufferers and no one I've spoken to has the flu-like symptoms at the onset of an episode.

One thing that bothers me is the muscle weakness. I went grocery shopping this morning and as the cart got heavy I had trouble finishing my shopping. Half of my groceries remain in the car, too. I've made two trips and will wait to get the rest brought in when my husband comes home. I don't get winded, or physically tired. I can only describe it as being muscle fatigue.
