well, here goes...I have been told that I have fibro..by a couple of dr.s....but now Im beginning to feel that its much more than that..I have the fear of something like MS or MD....let me start out with 15 years ago when this al started..I woke up one morning with a sore throat and fever...went straight to Dr..he perscribed anti biotics...and gave me a shot...the next day..I had a very sore tongue..the next day..I coulden't move..all my joints hurt so bad I could not even chew (jaws) or lift myself out of bed..My dr. did a lot of blood work ..looding for Rumetoid arth..to Lupus..everything was ok...it took weeks for me to stop hurting..but what did stay with me was the pain in my knees...with weakness..that was 15 years ago..now this past few months me knees have started really hurting me again..now along with it is this aching and tremmering of my lower legs and calves...if I work on the computer too long my hands and fingers are hurting..and I feel that I am going to have the same episode happen as before..I have chills..sore throat..(slight) no fever..along with all this I have hypoglycemia.hypo thyroid...and menapause..migraines..Im a total mess..
Iam 55 years old...and must admit to really going off my hypo diet..and have really eating all the wrong things..especially the suger and starch which I crave....all the time...I do not get any sleep...when I do..I up in a couple of hours looking for something sweet to eat...I tried taking magnesium..(calm) that it would help my legs...(I also have gotten such bad leg cramps, that its actually turns my foot inward..and I have actually passed out form the pain of these cramps)...Now you are going to tell me to get the a Reumitoligest (sorry about the bad spelling)..and yes I have made an appointment for this tuesday..but Im absolutely scared to death that I have MS..Lupus..MD...
Has anyone had anything as bad as this..and still have FM...
Thank you
