Could I have FM? - Fibromyalgia Message Board

Hi everyone! I'm new here and have a few questions. For quite sometime now I have been feeling pretty bad. My symptoms include IBS, frequent UTI's, extreme fatigue, and mild achiness. I was wondering if I have symptoms indicative of FM. I sleep over 8 hours a night, yet in the morning I feel as though I hadn't slept many hours at all. I am lactose intolerant and I take enzymes to help diegest dairy, but i still deal with IBS symptoms. I also have horrible allergies. My head always feel "filled up" and my eyes...let's say I have horrible puffy eyes. I feel miserable all the time and it's getting worse. Do my symptoms sound as though I may have FM? How do I go about finding a doctor to help diagnose this? Thanks for your help.

Hi, I would do what Cyn, said but also ask if they treat fms. You can also look on the internet for doctors specialising in this and other's like cfs. like [url="http://www.co-care.org/USA_PA.htm"]http://www.co-care.org/USA_PA.htm[/url] Instead of PA where I live you put your state in caps there.use lower case and upper case as shown. This is just one of many lists you can find. I found my new doctor here. He is an infectious diesease, fms and cfs board certified. I love him. He's so into helping. Good luck and get 2 opions, Kim
