I've been hesitant to say this, as I am still sort of denying the fact/possibility.
The doc was asking questions about my pain and where Im "sore" and things as such, and between the two of us we realized that alot of the time I am "sore all over" and "muscle achy" and such.
So he comments that there is some chance it MAY be fibro.
If we look at the symptoms :
Those affected may also experience heightened sensitivity of the skin (also called allodynia),(I get this sometimes) tingling of the skin (often needle-like),(thought this was normal and just my back compressing nerves) achiness in the muscle tissues,(yep) prolonged muscle spasms,(yepo) weakness in the limbs,(YES! I thought it was related to breathing/anxiety/high blood pressure) and nerve pain. (not sure?)
Fibromyalgia patients are often affected by a number of symptoms other than pain, including debilitating fatigue,( I Am ALWAYS tired) abnormal sleep architecture,(since I was like six months old.. [13] (meaning the brain does not reach all the restorative levels of sleep necessary for overall health), functional bowel disturbances,(go from constipated to the other side of the spectrum within days[14] and a variety of neuropsychiatric problems including cognitive dysfunction, [15] which can mean short and/or long term memory problems, slowed information processing ability, diminished attention span and anxiety and depressive symptoms(absolutely)
In addition, many patients experience cognitive dysfunction (known as "brain fog" or "fibrofog"), which may be characterized by impaired concentration and short-term memory consolidation, impaired speed of performance, inability to multi-task, and cognitive overload.[17][18] Many experts suspect that "brain fog" is directly related to the sleep disturbances experienced by sufferers of fibromyalgia.(yep, ive had this since id say about five years now.)
So although it sure would explain alot of how I have felt physically for years, Im kind of worried and a bit freaked out by the whole thing.
