Is am unemployed and not health insurance. When I had health insurance I was to busy working on another heath problem I have. IIH. Anyway I would like to tell ya'll what is happening to me and hope ya'll can tell me if you think I have fibromyalgia. I do have knots at the points I have found a list of on the computer. If my cats walk across my breast or my arm I want to scream. If my grand kids climb on me I also about loose it. OH and blood pressure cuffs are torture devices. It hurts so bad. If I drink caffeine the next day those pain points will hurt with out any help. Caffeine is not my friend. This is all I can think of now./
Do ya'll think I have it?

Cat paws hurt everyone when they step on you.
Once again its not right for us to give you advice or say yes or no,. I do know there are free health clinics in all areas you might want to check them out,.
Good luck
To Be Sure "Tenderness" is a Very Common Issue amongst People who Do Not Have FM..Low Vitamin Levels, Sedentary Lifestyle. Many Things That Can Be Corrected can Cause Tenderness...I would look for a Free Clinic, or getting some assistance to seek Medical Attention and go see a Dr.
As Time has Gone on, I Have Found So Much that My Dr. always said was FM was In Fact Not ~ So Keep Searching !!
I'm sorry you don't have insurance. There are so many things that can mimic FM that need to be ruled out. It takes a long time to get a diagnosis.
There is so much information on the internet these days that can be helpful for a lot of people for others it just causes people to self diagnosis and then stress over it.
I'm sorry you are in pain and hope you get it figured out.
That sounds like a good idea.
Fibro tender points don't have "knots." "Knots" are associated with myofascial pain, which is an often overlapping but different condition.
Google "Myofascial Pain Syndrome" and look for anything written by Dr Devin Starlanyl who is one of the better writers in that she writes in a way the normal person can understand, not just medical professionals.
