Hello! I was just recently diagnosed with fibro and I feel like it just keeps getting worse! At the end of 2013 beginning of 2014 I had 8 months straight of sinus infections. No antibiotic worked. I kept talking to my doctor about these aches and pains, to which she dismissed as being constantly sick. In the meantime, I was put on Wellbutrin for my anxiety and to quit smoking (which I have successfully done since May!) Anyway, finally in August 2014 she decided to send me to a rheumatologist. Within 5 minutes of the exam he gave me a firm diagnosis of FM. I should say I have also had extensive blood work that came back that I am anemic and have very low white and red blood cell counts. Anyway, he has put me on robaxin, sulindac, ambien to sleep (sometimes Ativan) and I still take Tylenol and my Wellbutrin. I also eat well (lots of fruits and veggies) and 20 minutes of yoga twice a day. I have two young boys and the pain is just getting to me. I am beyond fatigued every day, and recently, I have this pain in my upper arms that is indescribable. Along with the fact that my upper arms feel extremely cold and no matter what I cannot warm them up. My thighs and knees are pretty painful as well. I know I am rambling...I just want to know I am not the only one here. I feel like I am still young (31), so this is just hard to mentally deal with when my body doesn't allow me to feel young.
