Testosterone!!!!

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Torquay, UK

As we all know Fibromyalgia isn't fun, we also know it's hard to prove or disprove! Both my doctor & the consultant are pretty sure that what I'm suffering with is Fibro. I myself haven't been able to work for 2 years now. However, because the blood tests I have on a monthly basis are showing that my testosterone levels are either up or down they have requested that I try a course of testosterone injections to see if it helps.

A recurring theme was the difficulty of getting a definitive fibromyalgia diagnosis, the importance of finding doctors who take symptoms seriously, and appreciation for the support and understanding found within the community.

I wish you well with the treatment Wayne! Do let us know how you are doing. I find it interesting about your T levels being out of whack as hormone issues are also related to fibro in women, especially at menopause

Very interesting. I had not heard of testosterone levels being out of whack as having similar symptoms. I'll look out for an update.

@A MyFibroTeam Member this is a really good question. I wonder if you have seen a rheumatologist? Have you had the 18 trigger point exam?. The trigger point used to be what helped towards a definitive fibromyalgia diagnosis. I find It interesting your testosterone levels vary. Please keep us posted on your journey of the shots and what they diagnosis is. There could be several things going on at once..... Take care.
