Avatar f tn I have fibromyalgia and so does my mother. From what I have learned it can stay the way it is now for the rest of your life or it can get worse. Try to stay on a daily routine sleep when your tired and don't overdue yourself, the best you can do is take good care of yourself hoping to help it not get worse. Very true, as bad as it gets for you.

Monster ### FIBROMYALGIA SYMPTOMS Pain — The primary symptom of fibromyalgia is widespread (diffuse), chronic, and persistent pain.

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.

In addition to the local or regional pain associated with myofascial pain syndrome, people with the disorder also can suffer from depression, fatigue and behavioral disturbances.Trigger points can be identified by pain that results when pressure is applied to an area of a person's body.

It keeps muscles conditioned and healthy and decreases the amount of discomfort. It is very important to try low-stress exercises such as walking, swimming, water aerobics, and biking rather than straining exercises such as weight training. Heavy exercises worsen the symptoms.
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 n tn I'm 37 and I have chronic muscle pain in my neck, back, arms, hips, legs ankles and even feet. There are often painful lumps in my muscles; there is also a burning sensation deep in the tissue when pressed or when I stretch. Lately, these sensations are worse when I do mild yoga, stretching and lifting. Muscle pain began when I was young and has not gotten better even though there have been periods when I have felt better than others.

390388 tn?1279636213 One possible symptom of fibromyalgia is Costochondritis. You can also have pain in your sternum from this. If you have spoken to your doctor and they have ruled out all possible serious diagnoses then I would almost feel assured that it is fibro.

Avatar n tn When I had insomnia I ended up with a lot of issues such as Restless leg syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Chronic fatigue syndrome and Chronic Pain syndrome. I really feel that this was brought on by stress, anxiety and lack of sleep combined with major hormonal issues.
Avatar f tn The main thing to keep in mind (and you may have to stress this to your doctor) is that pain knows no age restrictions and fibromyalgia pain is no different. It IS very possible to have fibro even at your young age. If, after your doctor appointment, you don't feel like you are getting satisfactory care or results, do not hesitate to seek a second opinion, even searching for a rheumatologist.
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.
