Gentle hugs, Sherrall

There are SO many symptoms.. too many to list.
Widespread pain and fatigue and feeling like you always have the flu...I guess that is the easiest way to explain it, but definitely check out that website theat Sherall listed.

I would say the Base Symptoms that Most of us Share are the Constant Flu like Muscle Aches, Feeling sick/weak after doing Very Little, Nerves are Hypersensitive...Sensitivity to Noise, Lights, smells...Touch.

I think the Majority suffer from those symptoms...then there are ALOT of other Co existing symptoms, Like RLS {Restless leg Syndrome}...IBS {Irritable Bowel syndrome}...headaches, shooting Nerve pains randomly Anywhere...

Threatening Symptoms arise...ya run to the Dr.s...Nothing is Ever found in tests...so then One more Big Symptom you can add to the List...and that is people start really not believing in what you say...this includes Dr.s, Friends, Family...yea...as Big and as Bad as a Symptom Feels...it tends to go away on its own with No treatment...Why ?? Because it is our Muscles, Tendons, Fascia, that get all tight...Pissing off the Nerves...quite annoying at best...

Don't "Settle" for a Dx of FM...be sure they Test and test...Many other conditions Mimic this...

Hugs and GL to ya !!

Did anyone mention insomnia or sleep disturbances? That's a typical symptom. Some doctors theorize it is a cause, but that's just another general guess they make before telling you to get more sleep, as if you have a conscious choice.

Exactly...LOL !! How the "H" could I Forget Sleep Issues ????????

Oh yea...One MORE Symptom...FORGETFULNESS

Only reason I remembered is because I haven't been sleeping worth a poop.
