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

Very disturbing. I took one 15 mg last night and I was awake and angry all night long. I am not taking this. Too bad for anyone that owns stock in this drug company. These for the majority are horrifying side effects.

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 do and it makes me spasm I've thrown hot coffee in the air before because its made my hand spasm
I put on a brave face and fake smile even when I am in a serious amount of pain because I don't want to be a burden to the people I love. But they always seem to forget that I have this disease and I am constantly feeling the need to push myself beyond limit because I don't want to disappoint anyone. How do I let people know I hurt all the time without feeling so guilty about it?
Very helpful thank you @A MyFibroTeam Member. You're right my family and friends can usually tell, but I do try hard to keep a poker face because I want to be apart of things they want to do. It's… read more

My shoulder is in a lot of pain and it's burning some horrible but since I haven't had too many problems with this part of the body. I'm not to certain why I'm having so much pain with burning now. Or is it possible that the pain in my back hips and legs was so great for so long that some how the pain in my shoulders was hardly noticed or identified . I have had injections in my neck and shoulders before maybe I just didn't recognize the problem due to the horrible pain in my back hips and… read more

Has anyone had positive results from an exercise routine? If so, what types of exercises do you find helpful? How much do you exercise when you're in a flare? Thanks in advance!
I'm trying out yoga. I figure it's a good way to stretch and exercise I can do anytime I have the energy
Thank you! I will talk to my doctor about that possibility.
