Manic Depression, Congenital Spinal Stenosis, DDD

I have the same DDD ,spinal stenosis , osteoarthritis in lower back,two bulging disk...some kind problem in my neck due to whip lash in a car wreck ,and a pituitary tumor and depression and anxiety, sleep apnea and migraines and acid refux and chronic fatigue . Thanks for the question I was wondering this also.

How about.....Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Supra Ventricular Tachycardia (SVT), High Blood Pressure, Osteo Arthritis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Mitral Valve Prolapse, Basel Cell Carcinoma, Scoliosis, Hypopnea, TMJ, Cataracts in both eyes, Diverticulosis, Non-Sjogren's Sicca Syndrome, Fatty Liver, right knee replacement, and now this summer I will be adding a second knee replacement to the list

Cervical disk disease....Hashimotos auto-immune thyroid...osteoarthritis....depression..plantar faciitis......

No offense, but I wonder if some people aren't curious enough to investigate what's wrong with them. Maybe the fatigue discourages that.

I'm pleased as punch to see a bunch of possible causes posted earlier. I personally think "hypermobile syndrome" (probably Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome or another connective tissue disorder) would prove to be one of the most common causes in this group. Dr. Oz said a week or two ago that celiac disease is another thing to test for re fibromyalgia.

Genuine, I can't speak for others, but for me, that is all I've been doing for the past 12 months is investigating what is wrong with me, problem is...I can't get a 100% diagnosis because I don't fit every criteria that they require. Had lots of blood work done, several MRI'S ect ect...We have it narrowed down to MS or Fibro. Time will tell I guess. I think people get discouraged and give up on trying and on Doctors because it is so hard for some people to get diagnosed. (((hugs)))

Yes, I do too have degenerative disk disease, I am so, so desperate for help!!! All I have done is cried and prayed all at the same time today....... I have had the worst year of my life. I have a lot of depression but then who wouldn't .Right? (oh, read on then you decided) anxiety, IBS, F- fog, granuloma anulare,( they are nodules under the skin, in a knuckle of and on the bottom of my fore-arm) I will get a steroid shots when that happens.
I have a history of fever blisters on my lip or in mouth when I get them. I also have a lot of problems with my eyes. Ocular surface disease, Clogged Mynobian glands and blephritis. Oh did I mention headaches? I think today was one of the top 10 worst days of my life, I just wanted to end it all. When I have days like this, I have Morphine Sulfate in a bottle so I took a half and finally some peace. I few days ago I went to the foot doctor because my foot started hurting about 4 months ago "really bad" but I didn't do anything about it because I thought It was just another, bad pain. I have walked on the side of my foot and my heal for a long time now. When I went into see the doctor he did an x-ray, he said my foot was broken!!!! Now, I am in a cast and if in 5 to 6 weeks it isn't better I will have to have a bone removed. I have learned after 30 something years to, SUCK IT UP AND I AM SO TIRED!!! This cast I'm warring throws my back off so much that looking back at my day I was thinking awful things. I guess it is just another day in my lovely life. God is good, PAIN isn't (I don't think that belongs in the same sentence) Take Care, hugs to you too!

So true! My laundry list:
Asthma, hashimoto's, IBS & GERD, insomnia/hypersomnia, arthritis, premature menopause, migraines, and Epstein-Barr.

alone, I'm so sorry you are in so much pain. It brings me to tears to know that people have to suffer like this. I will be thinking of you. Big warm gentle hugs dear!

I have hypoglycemia, migraines, Reynaud Syndrome (cardiovascular problem with my capillaries), Strabismus (disorder involving the muscles of my eyes, which may require surgery), Acid Reflux, Dysmenorrhea & Menorrhagia (in October I had endometrial ablation, best decision I ever made), extreme sensitivity to cold and hot temperatures, depression, anxiety, constant tremors... and, most likely IBS. I also get ulcers frequently... and, the last time I went to see my dentist, he said my ALL of my teeth have big cracks running all through them. ???

Oh, I forgot terrible year round allergies, insomnia/hypersomnia, Epstein-Barr virus, frequent lesions in my mouth, adult acne (I caved in and ordered Proactiv), and sensitivity to sunlight (I will literally burn through a t-shirt on a day when NO ONE else will burn with bare skin. I'll stop there... and end with etc.

That's extreme, but darker fabric colors should help and medication probably is part of the problem and adjustable. Just trying to give a little good news.

MaryBeth2010, you probably have temporal mandibular joint dysfunction, which causes you to clench our teeth when you are unaware you are doing it. At night, mostly. You NEED a bite guard to wear at night to protect your teeth. This device is made of a plastic (I think) that gives a little, so that your teeth should be OK, or better anyway.
Now, what do I have:
TMJD, bipolar II, IBS, interstitial cystitis, DDD, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, hypothyroid, migraines, early menopause (not for the faint-hearted), arthritis, dry eyes, mouth, etc., bone spurs in my feet, asthma, terrible shortness of breath, that probably goes with the newly diagnosed, diabetes, fibrofog, allergies, insomnia, rosacea, PTSD and anxiety, and I'm sure I'm forgetting things. Too much to remember.

Adding to the list of Misery lol

Depression and anxiety (used to have panic attacks, agoraphobia, now I'm just terrified someone will accidentally hurt me by touching me), insomnia/narcolepsy, sleep apnea, endometriosis, plantar fasciitis, thoracic outlet syndrome, nerve pain from several whiplashes, severe costochondritis, post nasal drip, constant runny nose (constant pile of tissues by the PC lol), arthritis, mild scoliosis + overweight due to inactivity, pain and medication (thanks so much!).

I could make a list two pages long, but in my mind it's all part of the fibro. I have to think that way, or I'd shoot myself. I can't handle having a dozen conditions. It makes me feel like a hypochondriac.

Instead of calling it plantar fascitis, I just say my foot hurts. It's Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) to the orthopedic specialist, but to me it's fibro. I'm not hypoglycemic - fibro just means I need to eat healthier or I feel bad. Etc, etc, etc.

To me, fibro affects every tissue in my body. So it doesn't matter if i give each set of symptoms a different name... it's all the same thing.
