She described the diagnosis of PA and Fibro as a viscious cycle and I have to agree, it *is* viscious. HI Patty, I have also been diagnosed with PA and fibro. Which of the antidepressants are you taking. My doctor prescribe Zoloft and after research I told him I did not want to take it. I read so much about weight gain and I am trying so hard to diet. I have thyroid problems and the weight is just not coming off. He now said I should try Welbutrin after I was told this does not cause the weight gain however I was the one who suggested it. I don't know if he is just yesing me or if he really feels that it would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But keep asking questions that is why we are here, I have many more symptoms too but don't post them here for they just come and sometimes go depending on what trigger point is acing up too. Also if I am in a fibro flare my Dear hubby asks me if my haier hurts and smetimes it does hurt. HUgs heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 These are my symptoms: +Pain all over- Sometimes it is in the form of aches and pains when you have a very high fever. +Tendinitis-very bad in my hips,shoulders,wrists +Stiffness in all my joints +Migraines +Hard time staying asleep and getting a restful sleep +Terrible fatigue +Anxiety {was crippling before meds} +Depression +Bladder problems +Liver not functioning properly +Kidneys not functioning properly +Healing very slowly +Not being able to remember words {I am only 47) +Forgetting what I am saying in mid sentence +Planter Faceitis +Make a lot of mistakes while typing or writing +Tingling in legs and hands +Finger sensitive to hot water when tingling +Cannot remember how to spell words when I have always been a good speller. +IBS +Reflux +Weakness in hands +Sometimes restless leg syndrome + not much appetite + React to many foods{on an auto-immune diet} +Neck,Shoulder,lower back problems +TMJ +Can't tolerate winter +Worse on a rainy day or a stormy winter day +restless +losing my hair +overgrowth of a bad bacteria in intestines.{only responds to maleria antibiotic and just for about three months} + a rare form a anemia +low body temp +little fevers +dizziness off and on +continuous yeast infections +A buildup of toxins in my system because of the liver/kidney issue. Not pretty. However I do have a good Kinesiologist/Homeopath and I am working on sorting a lot of this out. I also have a wonderful Neurologist,Dentist and therapist. In fact because of clearing the mercury out I am in a huge Flare right now. Seems when you clear Mercury it creates havoc with the body when it leaves. Worst Flare ever. But I am being supported with lots of help,my diet,homeopathy and super amazing Bone broth. Hope my list helped. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 just read your symptoms, Your carpal tunnel is the reason for the numbness in hands and arms, also the numbness is giving you the sensation of pain. The peripheral neuropathy is the numbness and tingling in legs and feet.. Most of what you are documenting, are the symptoms for the conditions you have listed. It is not all fibro. You are doing like so many I have seen, and lumping everything going on as fibro. Some of what you are listing is associated with fibro but not all. People get into major health problems by lumping it all as fibro.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Hi Carolyn, Here are four of my symptoms: pain flu-like feeling brain fog fatigue I have lots more, of course. Pam Fibro symptoms Please could as many of you that want to... list four things that they know is a symptom of fibro that they actually have. I know there is a long list of possible symptoms, I have read that, but would like to know what is a definite symptom people have on this group. I read so many other problems on here , and I know we all need to vent, but it mixes me up and I become almost a hypocondriact... sp? "My toe hurts" it is fibro......thoughts.ThanksCarolyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 In general: Shoulder pain Tingling in hands/arms Excruciating hip pain Headaches Of course all of this isn't on a daily basis and it changes daily. Generally speaking if something hurts and there's no logical reason why I assume it's fibro pain and if it goes away in a day or two as mysteriously as it came it's fibro. At this particular moment in time I have: Sore shin Sore shoulders Stiff neck Ask me again later and it might be different.
