Hi everyone, I just joined. Is there an introduction on how to work this website (e.g. forum topics, posts, threads)? I'm not the most tech savy. I was diagnosed a long time ago and often wondered if it was a misdiagnosis. However, as I get older, the condition seems to manifest itself in new forms. Symptoms used to be limited to chronic fatigue, neck/head and upper back weakness and localized, temporary pain; as well as sensitivity to pressure/light/sound/temperature (particularly cold). As I aged, environmental illness has become more pronounced, and digestive problems wax and wane. Currently, I am having sudden pains eminating from the back of the head, that can also cover the temporal lobe areas of the skull, and aching behind the ears and make my eyes/vision heavy and less sharp. I was afraid it might be related to a fall out of a transport van onto the concrete pavement, so I was finally able to get an x-ray, but nothing showed up except slight disc degeneration. I also had a medical event a number of months ago that caused floaters/flashes in my right eye. Long story short, it was probably a vitreous detachment because the floaters never did clear up. However, the eye feels weird in a way I can't describe. So, I guess what I'm saying is that I'm recognizing the pattern of years ago, where I would go to the doctor for all these weird and wonderful symptoms only to be told that all tests are normal, and I thought, fibromyalgia in senior years.
