I have been recently diagnosed and just wondered, is it ever just fibromyalgia? I've read many articles, blogs, and patient forums. It appears that fibromyalgia isn't a singular illness. The majority seem to have other health issues affecting them along with fibromyalgia. It makes me wonder about my own health and if there is some other underlining health issue just waiting to pounce.
Also, is it common for fibromyalgia to come on like flicking a light switch? Is it normal to be healthy one day and bam! Fibro the next? I haven't suffered for years with pain like so many I have read about. I also received a quick diagnosis from two different rheumatologist.
Maybe I was lucky in that aspect and maybe I am still in denial.... I just can't help but wonder if anyone else has had a similar experience.
