Guest guest Posted July 25, 1999 Report Share Posted July 25, 1999 Florence, What you are describing sounds like 2 different possibilites. One, have you had your thyroid checked because that can cause extreme fatigue, constipation, weight gain, etc. Another possibility could be fibromyalgia, or you could have both. For fibro diagnosis the best type of doctor would be a rheumatolagist sp?. He or she would do tests to rule out other conditions such as arthiritis, lupus, etc. He or she could check your thyroid also and do some blood tests, or an internest could diagnose your problems as well. It does seem that many times a lot of the conditions go together, but certainly don't have to! There are many that have I.C. fibro, VV, IBS, migraines, or any combination of these conditions. I hope you find some answers. I also have that flu like feeling whenever I don't sleep well, such as not getting the deep sleep (REM) and that is very indicative of fibromyalgia!
