Anyone have fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is usually a diagnosis when patients present symptoms of arthritis, but without definition. So you may have some symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoarthritis or Lupus, but not enough for a firm diagnosis. The doctor covers his bases by diagnosing you with fibromyalgia, but he does you no favours. If he came down on one form of arthritis, people would feel sorry for you and try to help. As it is, they feel you have a 'nothing' disease, and you can snap out of it if you want to. If you suffer from excessive tiredness, I would say you have either lupus or RA, or perhaps a combination of the two. I have all 3 types of arthritis, but it took several years to get a firm diagnosis. Ask to be referred to a rheumatologist, and tell the BF and your friends that you need support, not dismissal.

I have a friend who was diagnosed with this over ten years ago and he received the same reactions from many people, including his wife. His symptoms became so bad that he had to take a leave of absence from his job or he would have lost it because he was in so much pain and so tired that he couldn't function. I haven't talked to him in about 8 years now so I don't know if he truly had fibromyalgia or RA or lupus.

yes it is many people dont understand it so be it i dont like it either but thats the way it is

Hey i maybe would have say the same thing a few days ago but there are lots of things we dont hear and know about.so trust your doctor.

I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia ten years ago and yes this is the normal reaction. There are some doctors who don't even believe that it is a real condition at all, but I know that it is. It is not just pain, there are so many other symptoms to this chronic syndrome that it would take to long to list them all. I have a blog where I discuss my struggles with this condition if you would like to visit. http://jedopi.blogspot.com.

Hello venshida, Fibromyalgia is a muscular problem. Your muscle cells are damaged, and possibly some cells in your central nervous system. But don't worry, cells know how to repair themselves. You just need to give them the opportunity to repair by taking enough rest (7-8 hours per day), have a healthy diet and free yourself from stress. Apart from these natural methods is enzyme supplementation. You can take natural enzymes from not-so-ripe fruits such as pineapple, papaya, grapes and apples. You can also take enzyme preparations available in the market. Enzymes hasten cell repair process so you do not feel those muscle aches.
