So I am new to this board. I was diagnosed with Fibro about 4 years ago. I am not too sure if the issues I am having are normal or not. I have researched it on online but it is hard to tell.
I am in a ton of pain about 8 on a scale to 10. I hurt all over. It is muscular pain and I also have some joint pain. MY knees are bad, and I get pain in various joints. At different times I have pain in my shoulders, wrists, and hips, and groin. I am also extremely tired all the time. I can't seem to sleep for long periods of time. I have nights were I can;t sleep at all.
I also have Interstitial Cystitis, IBS, Diverticulitis, BiPolar, and I am obese. I know that some of these other issues have the same symptoms as Fibro but I am just so at a loss right now. I have not got any support system in place. My husband tries to be supportive but he really doesn't have the skills to be supportive to me. Actually he had no compassion towards me, but his parents he has all the sympathy in the world. I have three children that are all grown and I dont want to trouble them with my stuff.
I am not going to lie I am very depressed today and I am not able to get out of my own way. I just need to know if my symptoms are the same as anyone else.
I would appreciate any help.
Thank,
Kirsten
