Avatar f tn I have SEVERE pain in my legs plus pain all over. The severity of it changes from day to day. I do get "fibro fog" but I dont always have it and it comes and goes with flares or just whenever it wants to... Everything that happens to my body has no good explanation! LOL I hate this fibro, nobody really knowing how to help us.. I would say that you just dont get the fog. BTW, Mine doesnt just come from meds. It started before I took anything. Everybody is different...
1033336 tn?1252506131 The characteristic feature of Fibromyalgia is a muscle pain mostly in neck, back, thighs, and hips. There is presence of specific tender points in these areas that trigger the pain. Along with this there is morning stiffness in the muscles, brain fog, dizziness and other neurological symptoms. Since you are suffering from pain specifically located at the joints, and it started after the flu, the pains are related to the viral infection.
Avatar f tn Absolutely - there is no real "test" to say you have fibro, other than a collection of symptoms over a period of time. I wasn't diagnosed until I was 30 and I'm 42 now. It's frustrating and debilitating at times, doctors make you feel like your crazy. I went into pain management and I just want to caution you....it can be a slippery slope. Try to learn to manage your fibro with diet, exercise (even if it hurts) and alternative medicine.
Avatar m tn Past research has implied that depression was actually the true source of the fatigue and pain of fibromyalgia. But a new study has detected brain abnormalities in fibromyalgia patients. So while these new findings may not be a cure, they're sure to give peace of mind (and no small sense of vindication) to any fibromyalgia sufferer who's gotten a skeptical look from his physician.

554442 tn?1221235225 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.com/health/fibromyalgia/AR00056 Question: Why Don't NSAIDs Work for Fibromyalgia Pain? Why don't pain relievers like Motrin, Advil and Aleve work against the pain of fibromyalgia?
1168938 tn?1327154232 I have many issues and asked rheumatologist if I could have fibromyalgia, she said I don't fit criteria what do you think? Joint issues, muscles pains, sleepless nights, depression, cognitive issues, brain fog, always tired, IBS, Gerd, cramps in hands, hips and feet, temperature varies from boiling hot to cold, weakness in muscles and twitching, difficulty walking I'm unsteady on my feet and that's just a few of my symptoms.
Avatar f tn I had so much pain that I could hardly crawl in the door yesterday. The pain was everywhere upper back, legs, hips, upper arms and neck. It seems like this condition happens when I have not much pain and try to get everything I need to do in a couple days and then the next day I cannot move. On a good day if I sit for more than 20-30 minutes I stiffen up and takes a while to move again at all. My knees joints are very painful.
Avatar n tn //www.webmd.com/fibromyalgia/guide/fibromyalgia-pain#1. Pain with skin and pressure points can indeed be a sign of fibromyalgia. Please stop back and give us an update.
Avatar n tn As far as I know, no. The brain scans would probably be for the detection brain abnormalities that often crop up in fibromyalgia patients (issues with blood flow, gray matter loss--which may be the lesions you speak of, etc.). I'll do some research to see if the two are related, but I don't think they are. If anything, the fact that you have fibromyalgia probably weakened your immune system and made you susceptible to contracting toxoplasmosis. Feel better soon!
Avatar f tn I haven't been given a diagnosis yet, but I am low on Vitamin D and now have to take vit D every week. However, my rheumatologist said he is ruling out eveyrthing else to determine if I have fibromyalgia. I have been dealing with muscle joint pain for almost a year, it's getting worse, and there's quite a bit more symptoms, but I'm not gonna list them all just yet. I was just wondering if there is anyone who has Fibro that DOES NOT have fatigue that much.
Avatar m tn 25mg increase per week is acceptable to let your body get used to it to avoid confusion or anxiety. I started to feel pain relief of my nerve pain once I hit that dose. I have nerve dysfunction in my spine and I have a numb left foot. It began helping me once I reached that level. The important thing to remember though, is medication management is highly individualized. What works for one person, may not work for another.
Avatar n tn I have suffered from fibromyalgia for years. I have been taking vitiman B6/B-12 shots, and they help me with the pain of the disease. I"ve been trying to find out where to buy the B-6, I already have the B-12. Can anyone let me know if there is somewhere to buy B-6. Also, Rodex Forte is good for the off days, so I need to buy that also.
Avatar f tn m not sure if my pain is severe enough to be considered fibromyalgia.
Avatar f tn Many individuals with other liver diseases do not suffer the pain seen in hepatitis C. And there is a high prevalence of fibromyalgia in hepatitis C patients; this is important for clinicians to appreciate, as the recognition of fibromyalgia in patient with hepatitis C will prevent assumptions of pain being due to liver disease—and perhaps allow for a more focused and correct treatment approach.
Avatar f tn Including the back of my heels. I do have chronic pain elsewhere that is consistent with fibromyalgia like in my neck and back, but the pain in my feet is very different. At night I have to hang my feet off the edge of my bed so they don't touch anything. Just resting on top of the sheets makes them hurt. I am 29 years old, female, 160lbs... Slightly overweight but only recently and because I can't be as active as I used to be. Any other questions that might help, please ask.
Avatar m tn Their stress relieving exercises have reduced my pain and thereby reduce the amount of pain meds I take. www.theacpa.
Avatar n tn Neurofeedback can improve symptoms in some. Consult your neurologist since the cause for brain fog appears to be fibromyalgia in your situation. Take care.
2010625 tn?1329372056 Have you tried pain meds...tylenol, ibuprofen, naprosyn, aspirin. If so, keep track of the pain, activity and meds to take to the doctor; it would be helpful in diagnosing you. Good luck.
Avatar f tn Fibromyalgia is a pain syndrome related to the muscles, joints and connective tissue (tendons, etc.) Some fibromyalgia seems to be related to "central sensitization," where nociceptive neurons in the dorsal horns of the spinal cord become sensitized by peripheral tissue damage or inflammation. This type of sensitization has been suggested as a possible causal mechanism for chronic pain conditions. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.
Avatar f tn I had chiari decompression surgery @ the University of Miami in 2004. I also have fibromyalgia. The symptoms I'm about to describe confuse me as to which is causing it. I have episodes of sever brain fog mixed with poor motor skills. I have the normal fibro pain all over which I don't think has any relation to chiari. Can anyone please help me.
Avatar n tn Lymes disease or Infectious mycoplasmas. Symptoms right up that alley (total symptoms are all over body). Muscle aches? RA symptoms? endometriosis or hysterectomy? "brain fog"? stinging eye pain, ankle/shin pain? research www.immed.org and search Autoimune Illness and Mycoplasmas. also research ILADS to have proper Lyme testing done w/ IGENEX labs for Borrelia Burgdorfer and coinfections of Bartonella, Babesia, Ehrlichia, Rickesettia.
