fibromyalgia
Has anyone on here every been told that they have Polymyalgia Rheumatica? I cant find anyone. My dr says I have it. I dont believe him. Thoughts?
It could also be something like fibromyalgia. Check the fibro board and see if the symptoms fit. I have this disease and frequently feel this way. Do you have specific areas of pain or just general aches?
lupus, mixed connective tissue disease, fibromyalgia, polymyalgia rheumatica, polymyositis, dermatomyositis, and Lyme disease.
Combinations of symptoms can occur which overlap with other autoimmune diseases. There are symptoms which are considered "defining" of fibromyalgia. There are also symptoms considered "non-defining" but they often occur as part of fibromyalgia syndrome. for more information visit : http://www.americanpainfl.
m at the end of my rope because nobody can give me any answers to my situation....fibromyalgia? I also have numbness occasionally in my feet and I was started on Neurontin a week ago, still waiting for any change....my GP and Ortho act like it's all in my head....can anybody relate to these symptoms or should I just see a psychiatrist?
Currently I have a swollen temporal artery which the neurologist tells me is Fibromyalgia (diagnosed 10 years ago), i have nystagmus, constant eye pain first in the left eye and now in the right also. I can't go into any kind of light without pain in my eyes,but bright light makes me fall to my knees in agony and my head feels like it's exploding.. I have snowy vision (quite bad) and if i look at anything white or light colored it fills in with snow vision and becomes grey.
Well, joint pains with rash or bruise can be seen in SLE, psoriatic arthritis, fibromyalgia, polymayalgia rheumatica and chronic fatigue syndrome. Gout, though typically affects the great toe, can cause multiple joint pain with rash. Hashimotos Thyroiditis is another possibility. Hayfever and rheumatoid arthritis too should also be ruled out.
Which I think is rather young for temporal arteritis and/or polymyalgia rheumatica. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, but we (the drs and I) feel that these other symptoms are unrelated. The only reason I mention the health issues, is because I feel very strongly that the eye problem is related in some way. Also, I last had a full eye exam in June, and there wasn't much of a change in my prescription at that time.
Should I ask for an MRI or CT scan at this point?
Hello,
Some of the possibilities for your symptoms are anemia, diabetes,thyroid disorders, fibromyalgia(a disorder classified by the presence of chronic widespread pain and tactile allodynia(pain even on touching) ,chronic fatigue syndrome(often manifests with widespread myalgia and arthralgia, cognitive difficulties, chronic mental and physical exhaustion) ,polymyositis (means 'many muscle inflammation') and polymyalgia rheumatica(an inflammatory disorder that causes widespread muscl
I'm having trouble managing my pain. This is a condition like fibromyalgia. I'm currently on mobic, wellbutrin, trazadone, valium, and vicodin as needed. Lately I have been using more vicodin as that is the only drug that is working. I live with pain constantly all day. Can anyone suggest anything. I am seeing my doctor this week. Thank you.
s a lot o info there, or google fibromyalgia symptoms. My hair also hurts, more like my scalp. I feel that things are growing out of my head at times, drives me crazy. There are so many different symptoms for fibro, and then of course the symptoms overlap with other diseases, it throws me off a lot. Have you seen a nuero doctor? It might help. I hope I was able to help you some.
Other important causes could be polymyositis(a type of inflammatory myopathy or muscle inflammation) or fibromyalgia(Fibromyalgia (FM) is a disorder classified by the presence of chronic widespread pain and tactile allodynia i.e heightened and painful response to gentle touch)
Investigations like serum creatinine,rheumatoid factor,uric acid,x-rays of the joints and MRI joints are required to make a diagnosis.

Other conditions which mimic small nerve fiber neuropathy are multiple sclerosis or myelopathy, Regional Pain Syndrome (RSD), Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, polymyalgia rheumatica, Erythromelalgia, fibromyalgia, Raynaud syndrome, restless leg syndrome, fasciitis, neuroma, or anxiety or depression induced somatic pains. In these cases the ENFD and SGNFD may be normal or rarely raised.
Neurological symptoms along with rash can be seen in SLE (lupus), lyme, psoriatic arthritis, fibromyalgia, polymayalgia rheumatica and chronic fatigue syndrome. Hashimotos Thyroiditis is another possibility and so is Crohn’s disease. You need certain tests to rule out these possibilities. Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. Take care!

OK, I couldn't open that link either, but you can click on "HEALTH CENTERS" and type in polymyalgia rheumatica. Then click on the words "polymyalgia rheumatica".

All these conditions will have to be ruled out one by one. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Has anyone on here every been told that they have Polymyalgia Rheumatica? I cant find anyone. My dr says I have it. I dont believe him. Thoughts?
All that keeps coming up is scleroderma, but I dont feel my symptoms fit this... I do feel they fit with sle, fibromyalgia, and even ms, but what about the antihistones? One other possible clue is my BUN/Creatinine ratio is slightly out of range (22.2)
I do have Hashimotos/hypothyroidism (controlled) but a laundry list of symptoms that go way beyond this...
I feel like a limp dish rag. I have trigeminal neuralgia, polymyalgia rheumatica, and fibromyalgia, but my doctors say it is not caused by any of them or the medications I am taking?
Has anyone else experienced the same thing? What was your diagnosis? How did you treat it?
Hello,
Candida may involve the oral cavity (thrush), the pharynx or esophagus, the gastrointestinal tract, the urinary bladder, or the genitalia.The best tests involved in the diagnosis of candida are scrapping or swab examination of the scrapings after KOH mounting.The other test that can be done is fungal culture of the scrapings from the tongue of the vaginal swabs.
