Co-morbid or co-existing illnesses???

Would you please share with me the names of other conditions you suffer with alongside the fibromyalgia. This question is not about your other symptoms, but about the other afflictions which are chronic in nature and have existed for you at some point during the time you have suffered with fibromyalgia. We may not think of them all right away, but we could keep a list and update it here. Thank you in advance. I will begin

Members responded to a question about co-existing conditions alongside fibromyalgia by sharing extensive lists of chronic illnesses they manage simultaneously. Several members reported overlapping conditions including IBS, osteoarthritis, asthma, allergies, restless legs, chronic fatigue, TMJ, vitamin deficiencies (especially B12 and D), anxiety disorders, and various autoimmune conditions like Sjogren's syndrome and thyroid disease. A recurring theme was the complex web of interconnected health challenges many fibromyalgia patients navigate daily, with members noting patterns among subsets of the community and expressing surprise at how many conditions they share in common.

A MyFibroTeam Member

Yes, I’m surprised...so many asthma, allergies, arthritis osteoporosis etc. I always thought there are different subsets of fibromyalgia. We’re in the asthma allergy arthritis tc group. I have no dizzy, nerve trouble or bad neuropathy, or tremors, no bad disk problems.

Thank you so much for participating. I think we all have a lot of physical things in common.

To each of you, thank you. I have already thought of some things I forgot on my list. I have been suffering with fibromyalgia for 29 years. Maybe we can figure out the best way to update our lists when we do remember things.

I don't know how I forgot but I also have IBS. Afraid to admit it as I'm worried it will rear it's head. Ok for now.
