Symptoms Of MS Vs Fibro
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

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.

Help? (neck/shoulder Issue)
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

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? !

A MyFibroTeam Member

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.

Electrical Shocks
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

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! :)

How Is This Okay?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

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
