yup! Scoliosis, cervical kyphosis, epilepsy (first seizure around the same time as the fibro), hypotension, anxiety, IBS, mitral valve prolapse, oestoporosis, early onset menopause, migraines, plantar fasciatis, sciatica, TMJ, GERDS and acid reflux and a ton of drug allergies since the fibro symptoms started.
I went from healthy to crap in a very short period of time. I am certain it is all related.

oh and I forgot the one I hate the most...insomnia. which really adds to my chronic fatigue.
Sometimes, I just want to stop all my medications and never see the doctor again. I am so tired of going and finding out something else is wrong.
I had a medic alert but when the paramedics came to tend to me when i had a seizure in public they said it was useless cause they couldnt read it....my husband said you need to call the number, they said they never do that?????

Right now depression,hypothyroidism,5 bulging discs,DDD,torn rotator cuff and burrs in left shoulder and type 2 diabetes.

cancer,crohn's,arthritis,sjogren's,glacoma,mrsa,and they think i have ms but im still waiting for a spinal tap to come bk.

DDD, asthma, plantar fasciitis, tinitis, ibs, ocular migraines, TMJ, severe chronic dry eye syndrome, eczema, gerd, ...hmm

There's probably more that I'm forgetting.... lol

Btw, I had insomnia and sleep disturbances for years leading up to the FM.

Yup.. I have disk disease too. and scoliosis... and diabetes.. I do not have a thyroid gland. Had it dissolved 27 yrs ago.. it was overactive.. so been taking synthroid since...

I have arthritis, bursitis as well... right now I am dealing with a pinched nerve some where in my back.. but goes into the left butt cheek and down the left leg.... super painful.... I had mono too. .so I just do not understand this at all....

I have hypertension, kidney stones, dysphagia, recurrent gastritis, sleep apnea, multiple basal cell carcinomas, border line ovarian mass, IBS, irritable bladder, osteoarthritis, raynauds, multiple drug allergies, hypersensitivities to most foods, migraines and some new collagen skin problems on my hands the doctor is treating as palmar pits because he won't do the biopsy due to my drug allergies. Feel like I am forgetting something, must be the fibro fog.

I have the fibro plus, degenerative disk disease, spinal stenosis, arthritis, depression, secondary adrenal insufficiency, and high blood pressure.

Fibro, MCTD, Hypermobility syndrome, DDD, and most recently being tested for Rheumatoid arthritis

When I first started to see the doctors for my disability assessment, I was hard-of-hearing with trichotillomania which is where you pull hairs and my only spot of hair pulling is on my eyebrow.

By the time I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, I had degenerative disc in neck and lower back, arthritis in hands along with essential tremors in the hands, extreme startle response -generalized anxiety disorder with social phobia and chronic mild depression, myofascial pain syndrome, and when I was sent to a series of evaluations with specialists who understand fibromyalgia, all the strange connections started to make sense.

The biggest one for me was learning that it is the fibromyalgia that affects my ability to hear clearly. I can turn, lose all ability to maintain normal range of conversation for a few moments as I reset my balance. The extreme startle response was creating the chronic muscle spasms that often turned into disaster prone accidents. The eyebrow hair pulling was part of turning down the increased chemical levels for the physical anxiety symptoms.

I am currently in CBT, which is cognitive behavior therapy treatment plan, to help me get back into moving, even if it is as slow as molasses, and once I start moving, then I do regular stretches to keep the resting tension from increasing from not moving.

I have diverticulosis, which is the latest addition to this mixture, and am learning how to cope with the food changes to help reduce the "icky" I feel sometimes.

Best wishes to everyone to healing.

wow Fantod, thank you. I had no idea about all those issues being associated with Fibro. Geesh! Thanks everyone for sharing with me. Big gentle hugs to you all!

OMG after reading your replies I believe I'm blessed...well, I do have headaches ...soemtimes really bad ones, the ear pains ..My fibro started all of a sudden.

DDD and depression

Depression - my constant unwanted companion since childhood. Also migraines, which are a daily occurrence and the one of the biggest challenges I have ever faced. I was diagnosed with CFS when I was in my 20s, and mild arthritis in my neck. Discovered a few months ago I'm into early osteoporosis in my left hip, but not bad enough to require medication. But my issues seem small compared with some folks here - wow. Lots of hugs, everyone.
