If its something new I can't tell if it's fibro or gout or asthma or something else. For awhile I suffered from costocondritis ( my mom died of a heart attack) scary time but if you have it regularly you begin to know. My asthma makes me exhausted but so does fibro. My husband gets so frustrated because I don't even consider my inhaler until I can't breathe and start to panic. It's all a learning curve. A good doctor and awesome husband is what helps me.

I take allergy pills daily, no allergies but a constant cold feeling. like it is coming on, but never fully gets there. have done this for years. always getting sick but never fully getting it.

I cannot tell my fibro pain from other types of pain. This is one of the very frustrating things with fibro. It causes me great anxiety. I even had my appendix burst because I thought the abdominal pain was fibro pain. My suggestion is that if the pain is not "normal" or familiar to you, get it checked out by a doctor. Gentle hugs.

I still cannot tell the difference between fibro pain and if it's something else.
