I have always suspected I may have fibromyalgia but in a mild form, never been diagnosed yet. I also have hashimotos but levels are controlled by Armour Thyroid. Anyway this last month I went off birth control and had some severe worry and stress I've had these pains that have moved around my body. First started as left arm and side breast pain that went into armpit. I started my period soon after this episode. Checked my heart in the ER everything was fine. Then when I was ovulation I had bad pelvic, hip, and lower back pain that shoots down leg and my arms and legs fall asleep pretty easy at night with pins and needle filling. Now I'm having neck, shoulder and tmd or tension headache symptoms for about a week since a week before period and also my normal period pelvic pain intensified. I also had pretty noticeable side breast pain. I also have a history of achey legs at night and night sweats at night, Gerd and ibs. I've noticed before if someone grabs me on the elbow there is a very tender spot sometimes and when I have hit my legs or hip on something my skin seems extra tender. Also my pain is worse at night when I lay down and pressure is put on my body. I usually improve during day. Could this be a bad flare up from stress and hormonal imbalance? Can BCPs make fibromyalgia better if hormones is a trigger. Thanks for the time. I have a dr appt soon. As we speak my hand holding my smart phone is numb from bending it and my elbow resting in my bed. Another symptom?
