I am so having a struggle not knowing whether its gonna be worth going through with the nerve conduction study due to having numbness in my extremities and I did have a brain MRI which showed a spot on my brain but I guess inconculsive for MS at this point. My younger brother has MS, I have been researching the differences and there isn't much as far as symptoms.
I sometimes think I have MS. My Aunt had it my symptoms are very close. A lot of illnesses I look up say could be MS.
If you have had shingles in the past can this be a trigger for fibro.
I have not been diagnosed at the moment but I'm showing all the symptoms. X
I had chicken pox as a kid and shingles twice as an adult. I got the Shigrex Vaccine, it is not a live virus and shouldn’t cause shingles, though it has swollen glands and joint pain. At the time I go… read more
I was diagnosed with this after EMG nerve conduction test.
Has anyone been diagnosed with this or have heard of it?
My primary care dr has never heard of it?
I have never heard of it. Googled and found that my autonomic dysfunction may be related to fibromyalgia. Thanks for sharing.
I had arthritis pain seen I was 29 yrs old and was just told that I have fibro this year. My joints and muscles get stiff and ache. I have arthritis 97% of my body. I also have nerve pain from all my surgeries I had. I'm trying to figure out if I do have fibro or not.
It takes a while to diagnose fibromyalgia if I were you the first thing I would do is go on Google and look at the 12 fibromyalgia points and see if it applies to you I believe now there are 15 and to… read more
I woke up today and my shoulders and neck are so tight, I have pain radiating through my neck, upper back, shoulder and down my arm. I have very limited range of motion. It is sharp and some of the most relentless pain I've had with this yet. What the heck is going on? !
Don’t laugh. I use an old soft foam neck brace like they used to give you if you were in a car crash. It takes the weight of your head off the neck.
Hi! Wondering if anyone experiences electrical shocks throughout their body? I get them so badly my body actually moves on it's own. If I get one in bed, my whole body raises off the bed. Once, while drinking a glass of water I got a shock and hit the glass into my teeth. No broken teeth...that time and I hate drinking out of plastic! :)
I went to a MAPS clinic, just once...and when I told the PA about the above, using the bed as an example, I was told it was probably static electricity in… read more

I went in for a medication follow up with my GP. I told him I had stopped taking naltrexone because it wasn't helping, and I had switched my gabapentin to night time only. I mentioned a reduction in my migraines related to physical therapy. I told him I had been sleeping better and able to do more in a day. He tells me because I'm so "highly functional" that he doesn't think I have fibro anymore. I still have aweful days where I can't get out of bed. On a good day, i can work, cook and take a… read more
