Alright, so, here's my tale to be told yet again. I'm 17 and have posted in the Fibromyalgia board (my doctor thinks it's possible I have FM and is sending me to a rheumy but I"m not sure) and also the Addison's board because I thought some of my sypmtoms matched with people's on that board. I think it is possible that I have a hormone problem now, especially with some of my recent developments but I'd like anyone else's input who is more knowledgeable in this area than me so here goes:
In the past:
-insomnia/waking up a lot durring sleep, usually due to pain
-pain in legs and back (cramping and also shooting)
-muscle twitches
-extreme fatigue (once hospitalized)
-periods of confusion, sometimes get completely lost while driving (brain fog?)
-headaches (TMJ)
-debilitating stomache cramps and diarrhea
-turn puprle when cold
-shakiness, usually from being cold
-problems with memory
-can't exercise for as long as I used to be able to

Now
-can't stop sleeping, I sleep all the time but am still tired
-still have pain in my legs and back and muscle twitching
-my periods are very light
-keep getting fevers and will feel so warm i once walked around in shorts and t-shirt in 40 degree weather
-sweating like mad (armpits mostly but also hands, face, and feet)
-i also seem to be kinda moody

Well, I think that is the just of it, I'm probably leaving out a lot. I have had blood tests to rule out thyroid (my doc thought i was hypothyroid), anemia, mono, and i don't really know what else. I've had a sleep test which showed no definitive sleep disorder just that i have "non-restorative sleep" Oh, my weight is also up and down, one week i'll weigh 5-10 pounds more and the next i'll lose 5-10 pounds. Any thoughts would be much appreciated!
