Tell me what you guys think, and let me know if what I have may be fibro, thanks!
Also, please keep in mind that all symptoms have been reoccurring for at least 10 years, most symptoms happened everyday:

1. Sharp pain in my right shoulder blade (feels like there has been a knot in my shoulder blade for at least 5 years, but no therapy or massage has ever relieved it. X-ray came back as normal.)

2. Pain and popping sounds in both elbows and both collar bones

3. Pelvic pain (all tests negative with papsmears once every year)

4. Pain ad swelling in both knees

5. Swelling and edema on left lower leg, ankle and foot.

6. Pins and needles in both feet, sensitive to touch (feels like fire)

7. Cold extremities

8. GI problems (typical pain, destention, diarrhea and constipation; colonscopy came back normal with few Pyer's Patches)

9. Headaches and migraines

10. Neck pain (wide spread)

11. Lower back and hip bone pain, along with sciatica

12. Depression

13. Muscle spasms throughout entire body

14. A mixture of insomnia, not getting enough sleep or sleeping waaaay too long and never feeling like I get enough sleep (even if I sleep 13 hours straight)

15. Sensitivity to light, sound, touch and especially smell (this started happening since 2013)

I've been tested for rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, came back negative for the antibody.

Every single test, CT scan, MRI and blood test came back normal. Blood sugars are very healthy, no history at all of diabetes in my family.
However, Fibro, Lupus and RA run on both sides of my family.

What do you guys think? Does it sound like Fibro?
 
If all tests come back ok then yes it does sound like fibro. Have u asked the Dr about the fact it could be?
 
My doctor never brought it up. I wasnt until my dad told me of his recent diagnosis that made me think that I may have it too.
I literally have all the same symptoms. It was easy for him to get the diagnosis since he's in the VA and is a disabled vet.
every single test, blood test, MRO, CT scan, x-ray, colonscopy, etc are all normal and I am tested for everything once a year.
I lost my job from being so sick so I lost my medical insurance along with it.
it did however receive medi-cal and my first appt with my new doctor is on August 4th. She specializes on CFS and chronic illness so thats basically what I'm planning to discuss with her when I see her. Hopefully she's a doctor that believes that fibro is real and will refer me for proper medication and specialists (if needed).
All my other doctors thought I was just drug seeking everything I went to see them for my pain and symptoms and they wouldn't do any thing except tell me to exercise to feel better.
 
If the new Dr deals with cfs then she will believe in fibro.im sure u will get somewhere with this one x
