hi
hope you are all well and coping
i am really writing to see if it's possible i may have fibro so i will start with my list of symptoms
general aches and pains all over my body most of the time
numbness and tingling sensations
weekness in limbs
mobility is very poor. i can not walk distances and when out and about i use my crutches
stiffness
tight sensation in my feet although they are not swollen
at times sensitivity to light, noise etc
muscle spasms
generalised anxiety
sleep issues
cognitive issues
definate sore spots around my body
visual issues
my mobility has got worse over the months but i'm sure it's due to inactivity and the symptoms and mobility to change day to day. i'm not doing any exercise. one i day i can't climb the stairs very well then the next day alot easier. the severity of the symptoms are always changing day to day. i have had blood tests, cat scan, mri and nothing has shown up. i think it may be something in our family as as other close relatives have complained of simular symptoms over the years but doctors have always put it down to "bad nerves". for example my aunt has a high sensitivity to medications and we have compared notes and symptoms over the years. i have had symptoms or started wiith the anxiety when i was 16, had 2 whiplash injuries over the years. i am now 39. i have n't been out of the house for weeks as i just have no motivation and i am dangerously close to developing agraphobia. i do feel like as my life has been taken away. it seems like it has taken control on my life. but only i can change that, i no.
the aches ad pains and simular symptoms to above have come and gone over the years and i am starting to wonder if these have been flare ups. my mobility has never been effected like this though although after reading somes of the posts i no it's a possibility
any imput would be great
loads of thanks

I had so much energy before you could barely stop me, I went through something similar. Lots of tests, blood tests, then it was different prescriptions. My doctor or doctors could never find anything, he would be practically scratching his head and i would always leave feeling disappointed. Maybe with a new prescription in hand. I started having stomach problems, constantly complaining about these sharp pains though out different parts of the body. I never felt good but kept pushing myself and would get knocked down often. Most of the time when i would wake up the first words out of my mouth was, i feel like a mack truck hit me, my face would be hurting, i would be achey, my hands hurt. Would almost like pass out at times, even at work. It was ten years of suddently putting the pieces to the puzzle together and it was the rummy who found out about the fibro, so i would take that suggestion. Good luck to you and if you are diagnosed i hope they can get you on proper medications as quickly as possible so you will be able to function with less pain. Mornings seem to be the worst for most of us. It is a good idea to keep moving, even in small bouts, so your muscles dont stiffen up too much. It makes it harder to get them going again and can be more painful. some type of exercise is a good idea for us but like i said baby steps first, even the smallest walks are helpful, so you can get rid of your crutches. Hope you find out soon enough so you can get on the right track with things. Have a good one and get to feeling better.
