Hi All,
41 year old, otherwise healthy Mom of 2.
I noticed in February that my energy was really low. I also noticed that walking from my car to the office (3 minute walk) was hard as my arms and legs felt like lead. I am a runner and running is such a challenge because of the muscle aches and fatigue.
Doctor did blood tests and everything came back normal.
After the blood work Doctor was thinking I had chronic fatigue.
I've been on Cipralex for years. Doctor added Wellbutrin about a month ago to see if it helped with the fatigue. No change. My muscle are always achy, not debilitating pain like I would have expected.
A week ago I was in Doctor's office and she said that she thinks I have fibromyalgia. She determine this because of the trigger spots on my hips and below + the other symptoms that she is thinking it is now fibromyalgia.
Also a week ago, I ran an okay 10k race, then another 5k two days later. What was interesting about the 10k was that the first 3k were BRUTAL. The rest of the race was pretty good.
When I told my doctor about this, now she is really stumped because she wouldn't have thought I could do this with fibromyalgia.
Would love your thoughts and opinions.
Thanks!
