Hi to all, I have not yet been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, (my neurosurgeon says I have it and my family doc and pain doc say I have myofascial pain). When I look up symptons besides neck pain, shoulder pain, facial pain, head pain and headaches which I have had for 5 years everyday I saw in someones diagnostic charts that people with mitral valve prolapse and fibro cystic breasts are prone also to fibromyalgia. I also have Epstein Barr Virus and CMV which is a liver problem that stays dormant in your system and you have flare ups every once in a while. I have flare up 3 to 4 times a year which is a sore throat, swollen lymph nodes and sinus problems. Does anyone else that has been diagnosed with fibro have any of these health issues to go along with it.
I have no idea like many of you what it would be like to feel normal!!!!
Thanks for listening.

I have had surgery on my cervical spine (fused C5/6/7 with titanium pins and plates and donor bone.) It is a lot to go through to be told, sorry your operation didn't help take your pain away, you probably have fibromyalgia!!!! great!!!!!

I got the fibro cystic breasts a few years ago for the first time. It was from a new birth control pill I started. I even went up a few bra sizes!! Hurt like the dickens!! Felt like it did when I was breast feeding and the milk gets clogged up! Needless to say, I don't take any BC pills anymore.

I will also get it if I drink too much caffeine.

........ Hello Lyn, i too have fibro cystic breast , a mild mitro valve prolapse, And a whole lot of other problems. I was dxd in July with FMS & AS after over 5 years of testing and doctor visits. Have you been to a rhuematologist yet? They can do even more test to see what they come up with. Good luck And let us know what you find out.

add me to the list, ladies. i have fibro cystic breasts and now it is thru my entire body. started when i was 29. i am 49 now. caffeine and nuts cause black fluid to come out of my nipples. i also have fms and cmp and a few other goodies to round it all out. almost had both breasts removed at 30. decided to keep them and face cancer if and when it came. so far not a nasty cell in there. doctors 20 years ago were lopping off breasts (like crazy) with fibro cystic claiming they would lead to cancer.
peace,
