Has anyone been diagnosed with.....

[BABY1]

fibromyalgia? My symptoms point to this and my doc believes this to be my diagnosis, however, I am undergoing some tests to rule out other things.

Re: Has anyone been diagnosed with.....

This diagnosis is really becoming a catch all. Many drs give this diagnosis when they dont know what else to do. Yes, there is a chart with, I believe, 18 points on the human body. If a certain # are tender to palpation, then they call it fibromyalgia. Keep an open mind baby1...I would load up on anti-oxidants to decrease your over all inflamation. Maybe some Wobenzym tabs, papaya, turmeric, etc. Ive seen many people get hooked on percocet or vicodin after receiving this diagnosis. Many people give up when they are told they have fibromyalgia because they are told "There is no cure and you are going to have it for life", that is why I hate this diagnosis. To many, it is like a death sentence. I have seen way too many people recover from this dreadful "disease"...I hope and pray you will be ok and that you dont have "fibro", as some call it. If you do have it, it is not a forever thing, no matter what the MD tells you

No, I don't think that is what he is saying. I think he meant this for me. I am searching for answers because this chronic pain is very wearing on me. It has taken a big toll on my strength, my activity, my sleep and my emotions. I am not one to give up and I won't let this get the best of me but being in this pain is really testing me.

So do you not believe in this diagnosis? I agree that sometimes docs make certian diagnosis when they don't really know what it is. I read that this often happens with a diagnosis of MS, as well. I am actually hoping that something is found through the tests I have, just so I can do something about it. This chronic pain is very debilitating.

Re: Has anyone been diagnosed with.....

very sorry too hear, chronic pain is debilatating, it is a vicious circle, pain produces more stress and more stress etc. u get the drift

i'd say you're in a better place than most due to your intuition and awareness, just follow what u blieve and factor into the equation it could be a long haul to recovery

Re: Has anyone been diagnosed with.....

I know it must be tough especially being in such pain... hopefully the doctors will be able to figure out what it is and give you something to help.

I'll keep you in my prayers.

Absolutely. There is hope with that. Ive seen people get to where they manage fibromyalgia quite will, if that is what it is. Anyway, my best thoughts and wishes for baby1 to get the right help she needs
