fibromyalgia

Avatar f tn re experiencing pain in your entire body, you should check with your doctor to rule out other causes, from fibromyalgia to neurological disorders or even infection, and also do whatever possible to reduce the stress in your life.
2010625 tn?1329372056 I was just wondering what causes Fibromyalgia? Can Anxiety, Depression/Bipolar, IBS, or Genital Herpes cause it?
Monster Many patients with fibromyalgia feel that their joints are swollen, although there is no visible inflammation of the joints (arthritis). ### FIBROMYALGIA TESTS — There are no specific laboratory or imaging tests used to diagnose fibromyalgia. Thus, the diagnosis is typically based upon a thorough patient history, a complete physical examination, and blood tests, which are used to exclude conditions with similar symptoms.
4437575 tn?1354575286 Does anyone know if that has to do with my fibromyalgia? Or does anyone else have it? It started yesterday and it causes so much pain. It started in my knee and went down to my ankle and up to my hip and lower back. (right side) It was burning and stabbing and shooting pains. Now today it started doing it in my elbow (right side) to my fingers and to my shoulder. Burning and stabbing and shooting pains again. SideNote: I'm 19 and I've had fibro since I was 15.
554442 tn?1221235225 Fibromyalgia (FMS or Fibro for short) is a chronic condition which causes widespread pain and fatigue as well as a variety of other symptoms. The name Fibromyalgia comes from "fibro" meaning fibrous tissues (such as tendons and ligaments), "my" meaning muscles, and "algia" meaning pain. Fibro does not cause joint pain or swelling. The pain from Fibromyalgia is produced in the soft tissues of the body, including the muscles and tendons. http://www.mayoclinic.
Avatar m tn I have been told for 3 years I have Fibromyalgia along with osteoarthritis in many areas; osteoporosis (I have lost 2 and l/2 inches in 3 years; fracture mode; every medicine I had been put on has been problems and I have been taken off all for Fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, and arthritis. Now, my right eye is getting fuzzy, not every day, but more days all the time. My doctor has said although I need back surgery, be careful doing that because it will possibly make your fibromyalgia worse.
Avatar f tn t know what exactly causes it. There are certain things that can trigger it like stress, weather, diet, and even a prior accident can cause symptoms. It is diagnosed with testing that rules out other conditions. Basically if they can't find anything else wrong and you still have symptoms, then they call it Fibromyalgia. However, persistent pain MUST be your number one complaint for it to be labeled as Fibro.
997519 tn?1251239849 I have been through some tramatic events like the symptoms say because i have a chemical embalance i guess that causes me to have thoughts that tourture me. I get depressed too. I took Ibuprofen everyday and it stoped.

7450908 tn?1390996321 I was diagnosed with fibro about 18 years ago. I've been using Lyrica & was using Cymbalta for a while as well. I quit using the antidepressant because it seemed to make the depression worse. I'm on low income & I'm telling this medication is getting so expensive that I have a hard time affording to buy just a months worth at taking one a day. At certain times of the year I have to take more than one a day. Is there a more natural way to deal with fibro?
Avatar m tn I have been taking xanax for approximately ten years....have tried to stop it on and off by tapering down i quit completely once for about a week (i didnt know then you could have seizures) and things were going good and I had no symptoms then something bad happened i can't remember what and i went back to the "scary place" and had to start taking them again. anyway i am under stress from my teenagers mouth and sometimes my spouse doesnt understand me.
551343 tn?1506830518 In a different study, we subjected patients with fibromyalgia to a simple stress test (to stand up). We observed a paradoxical derangement of the sympathetic nervous system response to the upright posture. Such findings have been confirmed by other groups of investigators. The results of these studies suggest that a fundamental alteration of fibromyalgia is a disordered function of the autonomic nervous system.
Avatar n tn I get this along with my fibromyalgia, but people without fibromyalgia can experience this also. It can go away on its own or your doctor may want to treat it with an anti-inflammatory medication. It could also just be your muscles in your chest tightening up - I also experience this and it goes along with fibro. Fibromyalgia is diagnosed based on having multiple tender points and performing a series of tests to rule out other conditions.
Avatar f tn Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that causes pain and stiffness throughout the tissues that support and move the bones and joints. Pain and localized tender points occur in the muscles, particularly those that support the neck, spine, shoulders and hips. The disorder includes widespread pain, fatigue and sleep disturbances.
Avatar n tn Sulfur is a contaminant of most food stuffs that contain refined sugar. It causes colon cancer, destroys Vit A and Vit B1 and causes exacerbation of allergy symptoms. So if you are allergic to carbohydrates in general and especially to refined carbohydrates then you can get sulfur burps and diarrhea. Keep a stress diary and note what you eat and when the burps started. Take Vit A and Vit B supplements and lactobacillus preparations for some time and see if this helps.
1692515 tn?1306270048 t think doctors really know all of the causes for Fibromyalgia. Anything is possible. Very likely, as with me, you have had vitamin D deficiency, too. That was one of the reasons I was finally diagnosed myself. Since I know vitamin D deficiency has been noted as a root cause for why some people get Parkinsons, then I know vitamin D is important for neurological function. Also, be sure to have your vitamin B 12 tested.
Avatar n tn The other closest differential is fibromyalgia and post traumatic stress disorder .Fibromyalgia is diagnosed by a complete history and physical examination. It is better to rule out conditions that mimic fibromyalgia. Once any pathology is ruled out seeking the opinion of a psychologist will be really helpful. Symptomatic treatment and counseling may help. Do keep us posted. Best of luck and regards!
Avatar n tn I believe a variety of things can trigger fibromyalgia and it is different for everyone. Usually an infection, emotional stress and/or a physical injury are factors.

Avatar n tn Fibromyalgia can last forever. There are treatments and even possible cures out there (research protocols). Fatigue, dizziness and so many other symptoms are common in fibro patients and in fact, 29% of fibro patients have a positive ANA titer.
