Are you experiencing sudden rapid bone and muscle loss along with weakness related to your fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia itself doesn't typically cause rapid bone or muscle loss. However, the muscle weakness and fatigue you're feeling are common symptoms. People with fibromyalgia often experience muscle tiredness because their muscles don't work as efficiently as they should - they need more fuel and don't relax properly between contractions.

This inefficiency can make you feel weak and exhausted, even though you're not actually losing muscle mass. One MyFibroTeam member described it as "feels like you are walking through molasses or it feels like the earth's core is pulling you down."

If you're experiencing what seems like rapid muscle or bone loss, this needs immediate medical attention. This could be:

- A separate condition unrelated to fibromyalgia
- A nutritional deficiency (like vitamin D or calcium)
- A side effect from medications
- Another health issue that needs evaluation

Please contact your doctor right away to discuss these symptoms. They may want to run tests to check your bone density, muscle strength, and nutritional levels to determine what's causing these changes.
