Hi Everyone.
I have recently been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. All started last October when I had a bad fall. A week later I got a really bad infection in my leg (cellulitis) that required two rounds of strong antibiotics. As that was clearing I started to feel unbelievably tired and my arms felt like lead weights. Progressing on Both shoulders started to feel 'dislocated', I was getting pains like 'shin splints' in my legs. Progressed to both legs , both arms, buttocks etc. I had pins and needles, fizzy type sensations in legs arms, face. Foggy head. Dizzy feelings some days. Had numerous blood tests all coming back clear. My doctor sent a list of my symptoms and all my blood results to the Rheumatologist and he wrote back saying Fibromyalgia and to start me on Amitrptyline. Took my first one last night. I have seen that people have 'flares' which makes it sound as if sometimes you don't have this, but so far I literally haven't had one good day. If anything I seem to get new symptoms all the time.
