It seems like I am having so many problems just within the past year. I have just gone through all the testing that goes along with fibro. Everything came back fine. I have an ultrasound on the 11th for my thyroid. She wants to look and see if I still have nodules on my thyroid. I have just had an ultrasound done on my pelvic area because of the pain I get in my pelvic area. For the past four months, my menstrual cycle has been off by a week and this time it was off by 2 weeks. I am going to gyno on Friday again because
I am not having a normal period. It looks like only old blood coming out. Usually, it is heavy and I have never had spotting. It's only dark brown right now. It's been like this for 3 days now.I feel like my body is just falling apart on me. I am still dealing with horrible neck pain. Last night, I was in tears with it. I am a little down right now and this is my way of getting some of my frustration and worry out. The pain in my neck is radiating down into my upper arm. I have been getting headaches daily and my fatigue has been horrible. I know it's not good to stress and I have been trying to not think about it. My hubby rubbed my neck and shoulders last night and it helped a little. I couldn't tell him it really didn't help that much. He was trying to help his best. He told me last night if he could trade places with me, he would. He is so sweet sometimes. I think he is finally starting to see how much it hurts sometimes. He is worried about all the stuff going on with me too. Well, thanks for listening and understanding.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
You're not PG are you? I did what you are talking about when I was, but I also do it now all the time. I'm always a week or two late and then sometimes I just skip it or just have that old blood that barely shows and that's my "period". I understand, but I don't worry about it. I don't have pain with it, but if you are, you have to get it figured out. I'm sorry babe. Really I am.
Well, I sure hope they can figure out what is going on in your body. I know what it's like to have weird stuff going on and want to know and not getting any explanation. Hope they can figure this out and figure it out soon!!!!!
actually the period thing can be quite normal...old blood before the new...I don't know how Normal it is to have 3 days of it...if you are just spotting or not...how old you are...is it Time for your monthly ?
do the neck thing several times a day...you need to get those muscles to Relax....oh, I have suffered terribly with it...neck, right shoulder, shoulder blades...all the way down to the muscles right under my shoulder blades...could not stand or sit very long...have been doing Pool therapy 2 weeks now and that has helped a great deal getting the muscles to calm down...have not had a headache now for 10 days {and counting !!}...
A prayer for you that you get the help you need..I am so sorry you have to feel all this pain !

It is difficult when you are hurting to think of all of the other "stuff" as well that may be bringing yu down.
I tell my family "Look guys, I don't need any drama or trauma in my life, got it?" they laugh, and I wish it could be that way but unfortunately life doesn't stop just because we can't participate as we "used to" before fibro.
Hope you find out soon what the spotting is about.
Best wishes.
