moe1959, what you are describing sounds a lot like misophonia! I'm the same, there are certain sounds that I absolutely cannot stand it drives me crazy... makes me so upset I have to leave the room, make the sound stop or I literally break down. It's stupid things like people whistling, certain...

This is absolutely true. It can be hard to find something to live for when you have to deal with so much constant pain, especially since depression is so common in people with FM. Personally I have dealt with mental illness way before my FM symptoms ever appeared, and for years I've struggled to...

I've always been a bit sensitive to very loud noises (music especially). But in the past few months it has really gotten worst and I've been wondering if it could have anything to do with fibro? For example, last night I was sitting with my partner and we were talking, and he wasn't talking...

Thank you for your replies! It helps to know I'm not alone living with this. I'm going to keep researching as much as I can about fibro and try to see if changes in my diet help at all. I'm also going to focus on sleeping and trying not to exert myself... that is hard to do with my job though...

Oh, yeah. I have depression, GAD and BPD, so that's what they think the constant fatigue/not getting out of my home is caused by. I also take meds and some of them cause drowsiness, so that doesn't help. We recently did a bunch of blood tests, all came back normal. I have chronic nausea and GI...

Thank you! I do wonder now if the hip pain is really just bursitis... I had doubts when I started having pain in the knees, but when I asked a doctor they told me I might have tendonitis or something like that in the knees as a result of my altered standing position/walking due to hip pain...

Yeah, that makes sense. I constantly feel exhausted and worn out. Some days are worse than others. Some days it takes everything for me to go to the grocery store or clean up or just wash myself. It's very frustrating... I go to work, I manage to do that. But on work days that is often all I can...
