fibromyalgia

Avatar f tn Look up fibromyalgia on the internet. Check to see with the use of your hands to determine whether you have any or some of the trigger points. It does sound like fibromyalgia. I am treated by a rheumatologist for the fibro that I have. The trigger points are the most sore for me but fibro does cause alll over muscle soreness. Let me know what you find out.
Avatar n tn Unexplained aches and pains could be due to fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Crohn’s disease, H pylori infection, anemia, liver disorders, diabetes, hypothyroidism, Vit B12 or Vit D deficiency and due to calcium or magnesium deficiency. This needs a comprehensive investigation. Consult a doctor please. Take care!
Avatar f tn My symptoms are that I have pain that stays in my right arm and hurts on and off in different places on my body, and fatigue like I have no energy, and my heart feels like it's jumping. I feel like crying sometimes cause of the pain and feeling tired. I have been to many doctors and hear everything from fibromyalgia to hormonal. My current dr says it could be from sleep apnea (which I'm being treated for)), he just tested my vitd and b12 levels because they have been low in the past.

It can also be due to sleep related disorders.
Avatar f tn Apart for fibromyalgia, the symptoms can be due to a mini stroke or transient ischemic attack, compression of spinal nerves, Vit B12 deficiency, vitamin D deficiency, anemia, vaso-vagal attack, anemia, lupus and other autoimmune disorders, heavy metal poisoning, multiple sclerosis, hypothyroidism, diabetes and panic attack. It can also be a type of seizure. If there is a headache then it can be benign intracranial hypertension too. Please consult your doctor regarding this. Take care!
Avatar f tn The treatment is a mix and match of analgesics, anti depressants, anti seizure medications, physical therapy and counseling. Correcting anemia and treating infection also helps.
Avatar f tn You could have Fibromyalgia or an Under active thyroid (Hypothyroidism) have a look on the Internet and you will find most of your symptoms are listed in both of these medical issues. I suffer from both and there is medication and treatment. An Underactive Thyroid can be tested for in a blood test and you can get a hormone replacement and you are usually on it for life. In the UK this prescription is free.
Avatar n tn Apart from fibromyalgia multiple joint pain is seen in hypothyroidism, low Vitamin D levels, Low Vit B12 levels, anemia, Hashimotos thyroiditis, gout (can sometimes cause multiple joint pain), rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, SLE, electrolyte disturbance particularly those involving calcium and magnesium, parathyroid gland problems, chondrocalcinosis and chronic fatigue syndrome.
1692515 tn?1306270048 I have been told my mother that at 2 years old I put a bobbie pin in an electrical outlet and she had to get a mop to dislodge me. My question is could my fibromyalgia, reoccuring shingles, and electric shock feeling be caused by this and what can be done to stop it.
Avatar n tn Have you been checked for fibromyalgia? I have a friend with the condition and she experiences very similar symptoms from time to time. If you have been checked and it is negative, and the many specialists and doctors you have spoken to say that it is nothing, I wouldn't worry. Assuming they did testing of course, blood, scans, and urine tests. If you're not losing weight rapidly for no reason and not showing any abnormalities on any blood chemistry or scans of any kind (CT, MRI, etc.
Avatar f tn It really is not uncommon for people to have more than one AI. And low D and B12 are common too. The low B12 and anemia are connected. Many times Hashimoto and celiac go together. The constant inflammation might have triggered the Crohns (just a guess). I would encourage your dr. to do the simple blood test for celiac. I'm not familar with vitiligo. I'm thinking it is where the skin losses it's pigment. What are the symptoms of that?
Avatar f tn s when puzzled by the patients series of symptoms but everything seems normal just basically throws their hands up and declares them having fibromyalgia and/or chronic fatigue syndrome. Again chronic fatigue also just happens to go away or be helped when the patient is put on Thyroid meds. evne though their TSH and other thyroid labs are all "within the normal range" What a surprise! You would think the medical industry would see this trend.
Avatar m tn It almost feels like knives stabbing me from toes to hips, and sometime have a numb feeling and the big veins in feet and legs get bigger. And now for some reason I've been having med to high fevers very often.

Avatar n tn Unexplained pains, sometimes the bones paining and sometimes the muscles can be due to a problem called ‘fibromyalgia’. This is associated with fatigue and a heightened and painful response to gentle touch (allodynia). Other symptoms include needle-like tingling of the skin, nerve pain, muscle aches and spasms, weakness in the limbs, functional bowel disturbances, and chronic sleep disturbances.
Avatar f tn Another possibility is sleep disturbances (like sleep apnea, imbalance of rapid eye and non rapid eye movement sleep etc.). You may sleep your customary 7-8 hours and yet feel fatigued. You need sleep studies to rule this out. Other possibilities are chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, low Vit b12, low iron, low calcium, sodium and potassium. Hyperthyroidism too causes increased sweating and tiredness. A comprehensive investigation is required keeping all the points in mind.
Avatar m tn ALS like symptoms can be due to fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, severe anemia, spinal nerve compression high up in the cervical spine, ankylosing spondylitis, osteoarthritic changes of the vertebrae, calcium deficiency, low Vit D, electrolyte disturbance, multiple sclerosis, peripheral neuropathy due to diabetes or hypothyroidism or due to bad posture. Lyme and lupus are the other possibilities. Fasciculation without weakness are unlikely to be due to ALS.
Avatar n tn Hi I am new to this and have a few questions. I was diagnosed with B12 anemia almost a year ago. I suffered from severe fatigue, memory loss, personality changes, high blood pressure, and loss of feeling in my hands and feet. I started injections and have been on them for year now. I have been feeling better I only need about 10 years of sleep instead of 18. I still have poor memory but not near as bad and so on. I thought after the shots I would feel much better but I don't.
1807837 tn?1336098763 I am sorry to hear about your symptoms, but am really sorry, without a clinical evaluation, it will be really difficult to diagnose your condition on net. A few possibilities are fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, severe anemia, spinal nerve compression high up in the cervical spine, ankylosing spondylitis, osteoarthritic changes of the vertebrae, calcium deficiency, low Vit D, ALS, electrolyte disturbance, peripheral neuropathy due to diabetes or hypothyroidism or due to bad posture.
1603806 tn?1297787253 For the last 2 months, i have had severe pain in both my feet and ankles, mostly on the right side. Last year i had surgery for plantar fascilitis, in that foot. It was pretty much all better... But now i have pain so bad that its difficult to walk. Like within the last two weeks its become almost untolerable.
Avatar n tn Several years ago, I was diagnoised with Fibromyalgia and this year had a case of shingles. Since then I have had severe pain in my joints, extreme fatigue.and tingling in my fingers.I constanly feel off balance and drop things, at times I feel like I am draging my legs. I am doing yoga,stretching excerises and masages,this helps the pain. The fatigue is almost unbearable. I am not sleeping but about 4 hours.
Avatar f tn I have chills every day that come and go. Could this be a symptom of fibromyalgia?
4340011 tn?1353122086 Usually conditions of heart, kidney, liver or low protein or severe anemia, which cause ankle and feet swelling, cause both ankles and feet to swell. Of these, heart causes are probably ruled out. Kidney function needs to be re-assessed as you had a problem in recent past. Polycythemia vera can also affect your kidney function. You also need to get liver function tests done and get a complete blood picture for anemia.
