My pain started a year and a half ago in my hands, then my feet. 5 months later I went to the ER with chest pains and was diagnosed with chostocondritis. 3 months after that the horrible migraines started, then the neck pain, then the throat, more chest pain, breast pain, and stomach issues the whole time. I don't remember a single day since last December (or before) that I haven't been in pain.
All of the above seems pretty on par for what everyone else has been saying. I'm new here, so pardon me if I missed it, but do any of you have the following symptoms:
-Eye twitching (I haven't seen it twitching, but it sure feels that way)
-Shooting pain in the throat (this one started at the base of my neck, then shot up to the top of my throat... not really neck pain as it felt more internal)
Every time a new symptom comes up I get really scared that it's not fibro but the doctors will miss it because they just assume everything is fibro after my diagnosis. I did meet with a great internist today though who suggested meditation and an elimination diet to find my food allergies, which will hopefully help. (I know I definitely have some, just can't figure out exactly what other than diary.)
Also, I'm trying to get pregnant soon and the thought of being pregnant (or raising a kid) with fibromyalgia is terrifying! I saw on another forum somewhere that some pregnant women say their symptoms go away when they're pregnant (then unfortunately come back afterwards). Does anyone have experience with this? Or how to manage having a baby and dealing with fibro?
