The posts I have read make me think all the members are suffering from a myriad of conditions. I am suffering from so many that I am embarrassed to list all of them. This makes me think that Fibro tends to hit those who are overloaded with other conditions. Thanks for your input!
I think most have more than just fibromyalgia because it is an autoimmune disease. Myself I have graves disease and a mild form of muscular dystrophy, autoimmune hepatitis so almost 3 years ago I had an emergency liver transplant, and just recently breast cancer. So I had a lumpectomy followed with radiation which I only have 7 days left !!!! Yay!! But I have keep a very positive attitude because I almost died with my transplant. And lots of complications after. Was in the hospital 2 months. And had lost all use of my muscles so it took lots of work to be able 2 walk again. And I still work. I'm a hairstylist and I love my customers so I can't give it up. And I've been doing it for 30+ years. I love my job! My husband is awesome which I'm very blessed and wonderful support from many others. My Dr says I'm an autoimmune nightmare. Because there is to much to list. But I thank God everyday that I am here and I love life and will not let anything bring me down.
No. I was diagnosed with RA and Fibromyalgia at the same time. Then later with Neuropathy and lastly with OA. It's the pits but I deal with it the best I can. Having a good support system helps. Prayer and talking with my hubby helps'.
I have only been “blessed” with fibro(and on the severe end of the spectrum). I was diagnosed back in March of this year but i have been having issues for the past year and a half and my doctor kept telling me everything was in my head...
I think the anxiety and depression reflux all came about the same time for me. Panic attacks too!!
So far for me just fibro, reflux and severe anxiety. I had anxiety long before the pain started though. The reflux started after the pain and terrified me, honestly still does. went to a cardiologist thinking it was my heart, wore a heart monitor for two weeks, came back fine, but it still scares me.
