Re: What are your Fibro Symptoms?

As I have mentioned recently, no dx yet... still waiting on my appointment... but here are my symptoms. All these pains do not affect me at the same time or the same place at all times. It moves around... here and then there or 3 or 4 places and once and then on to somewhere else and then nothing for a while.... I just never know when or where it is going to strike next.

Muscle Weakness/Fatigue when doing very little in arms and legs, and also in my jaws when I first start to chew.

IBS Symptoms... gassiness, bloating, severe constipation, sharp pains (not near as bad as it used to be)

More recently a feeling of not emptying the bladder and then easy leakage when coughing even though bladder is not full (not sure if this is Fibro related or not)

Weight Gain (25 lbs)

Arthritis Type pains (joints) fingers, toes, wrists, ankles, knees, hips, elbows

Other Bone Pain (long bones) upper & lower arms and legs

Nerve Pains, Squeezing pains, pinching pains, shooting, zapping......pains.
These are hard to explain sometimes.

Numbness in hands and arms, usually when overworked

Pain on the bottom of my feet when walking, usually after resting for a short time and then getting up.

Back pain, upper and lower, usually only when working

Shoulder and collar bone pains

Once in a while I get a pain on the ribs next to my left breast or under my breasts

Sometimes I feel like I am retaining water, my hands feel swollen sometimes and my ring gets tight

Food sometimes feeling like it is getting stuck in my throat when trying to swallow

On and off again depression

Memory and Thinking problems... can't think straight half the time and also I say or write/type the wrong things a lot. Like earlier they were advertising for a show on TV about a girl that has eight limbs, 4 arms and 4 legs and since my husband was in the other room and came back in at the last of the ad, I said this girl has 2 legs and 2 arms and of course he had to correct me. And believe it or not, I just had to edit the 4's up above because I had typed 2 just now. Geesh!

And my latest most embarrassing weird symptom is the day after my DH and I were intimate, my stomach muscles felt like I did a bunch of situps all day the next day. Any movement and I could feel the pain in my stomach muscles. I am not sure if this is related to being intimate or not but felt it worth mentioning in case anyone else has experienced that.

Well, that is all I can think of right now... Although this list is long, there is probably something I am still missing....

Re: What are your Fibro Symptoms?

Terrible short term memory. Muscle spasms in my toes, calves and thighs. My normal temp is 97.6. Weight gain (about 40 pounds over the past several years). Joint pain in knees. Tighness and extreme exhaustion in legs (feel as if they are heavy like a lead apron). Depression, anxiety. IBS. Very sensitive to sunlight, Lichen Planus (inflamed along gum line during a flare up) Numbness and aching in fingers. Mitro prolapse valve issue. Wake up tired. Other than that...I feel great.

Talking Re: What are your Fibro Symptoms?

Is that some kind of weird link for us? Thats my normal temp too. Has been for as long as I can remember. To answer the symptoms question:
IBS, bone-like pain in arms, hand,legs, feet, and neck, muscle spasms wherever, numbness(more like fuzziness) and tingling in shoulders, feet, and face, burning and whelps on my scalp, fatigue, trouble sleeping and a great disposition. Probably forgot something, oh yeah, forgetfulness too

I think that's it.
Donna
