I have also been diagnosed with GERD, eustacion tube disorder, TMJ, degenerative disc disease, and a non-specific swallowing disorder, IBS, depression, and costochondritis. I also get chronic migraines and sinus infections/sinus facial pain. After I had already been diagnosed with these, I found a website that said these things and others could all be linked to the fibromyalgia. Geez, I wish the 4 different doctors I was going to would have told me that. 6 doctors if you count the neurologist and cardiologist that I previously went to before I was diagnosed with anything.

I forgot to add that I also get tendonitis bad sometimes and am hypoglycemic. Sugar sometimes drops into the 40's even when I am eating healthier. I feel a little better if I am able to stay active, but sometimes you just don't feel like it. Sleep disorders are definitely a part of it. I once went 3 days with only 4-6 hours sleep total and then finally took a pill and slept for 17 hours. Sun will give me a headache in no time but I can't help going out in it. I could probably go on and on, but I generally don't get on here and I feel as if I dwell on it, it just gets worse for me

With my Fibro, I have IBS-D, CFS, Depression, anxiety, stomach problems, gastritis, memory problems, sleeping problems, chronic headaches, and some arthritis. Oh, what we have to live with.
God Bless you all...........

I have the following conditions along with fibromyalgia: Myofascial Pain Syndrome, Alpha EEG sleep anomaly (which is drivi g me crazy). Cervical Spinal Stenosis, DDD, Sica, goiter, and TMJ. My fibro symptoms began shortly after a car accident.

HELLO, I HAVE ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, SLEEP APNEA, IBS, DRY EYES, PAINFUL FEET AND HANDS, I HAVE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, FIBRO FOG. I ALSO HAVE CRACKS IN MY TEETH AND A LOT OF TEETH THAT ARE HOLLOW INSIDE. THE OTHER THING IS I TRIP A LOT. I KNOW I DON'T PICK MY FEET UP LIKE I SHOULD. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO'S HAD THIS PROBLEM? IF THE SIDEWALK ISN'T EVEN I SOMETIMES TRIP ON THE PART THAT STICKS UP. I TRY TO PAY BETTER ATTENTION WHEN I'M WALKING.
I HOPE YOU HAVE A BLESSED NIGHT. HUGS, CHRIS

OK! Time to throw in a totally different idea.

My mother used to say that she wouldn't go to the doctor because you go in with some pain here and there. The doctor starts running tests, finding things, and you walk out with 10 diagnoses and 15 medications.

She was half joking, but she was also half right. Our world likes nothing more than to medicalize everything. Look at this. Sometimes laughter is the best medicine.

I came back on here two days in a row to see what else other people are listing and it is amazing that we all have this much wrong with us, but it takes so long for us to be diagnosed. A problem I'm having now is that since I really not able to work at my previous job anymore and no longer have insurance, I'm trying to find an inexpensive place to get my meds. I have been a little lucky in that right now I am not in major pain, but tomorrow or next week, I may be crying with my face huring and chest hurting. If anyone has any ideas, let me know.

lol@emily. Well I just found out that now I have a tumor on my thyroid, lmao...life is so crazy. Love you all! (((hugs)))

I also have DDD/DJD (have already had both knees replaced already & hoping my hips aren't next), depression, asthma, psoriasis, insomnia...and all the fibro pain & fatigue that just never seems to abate.

I have panic disorder with agoraphobia, diabetes II, high B.P., rheumatoid arthritis, fibro, lumbar spondololysis, curviture of spine, gerd, IBS, esophageal spasms, no cartilidge in right knee and need knee replacement, and fibro. Am now very overweight due to inactivity because of pain and also from working 36 years at a desk. Wow, just looking at our lists makes me wonder how we all manage to keep it together. I think we all must be pretty flippin' amazing!!!

I think you are right Joy, we are amazing! (((hugs)))

Well, I know that I am a late res ponder here but I searched discussions to find out who had what, in addition to FM.
I have (head to toe), sinus and allergy problems, GERD, heart murmur, tendinitis in elbows and ankle joints, ulcerative colitis (inactive), knee problems. OA, spinal stenonis, DHC, depression, anxiety, ADHD, UCTD, plantar's fasciatis and Morton's neuroma. I may also have a thyroid problem...waiting for a doctor's app
The worst, as many have said is the depression and hopelessness..
I have lost hope that I will ever get well at this point in my life. I am afraid to share my ills at work, because we live now in a society where we are all supposed to be eating healthy and exercising and staying well.
I recently had to fight to keep my full time status at work and that really took a lot out of me, as well as the news that I may need surgery on my back and foot.
My job is draining me, I find that I don't feel well and that I can't be honest about all that is wrong with me. I think that it is all linked (not separate illnesses)--I think that FM can lead to premature death by illnesses related to the disease.
Still, nobody has really paid much attention to funding for research or cure. I have seen a couple of films (Dallas Buyer's Club and another) about AIDS in the early days and the fight it took for the small group of men and women in NYC to finally get the public to listen. I feel that as I am aging, I am growing more and more hopeless that we will ever see a cure or even attempts at a cure in my lifetime. I find this really sad and I can't find much to keep me going these days.

yes, anxiety, depression, DDD, arthritis, ibs, sjogren's syndrome, disphonia (sound like I'm 90) all sorts of lovely pain always somewhere different.

Pilates and oxcodone helping. New therapist, (younger than my 4 children) Constant grief of loss, and constant fatigue. Thank G-d for Xyrem, I can get good sleep!

I also have Chronic Fatigue, osteoarthritis, IBS, migraines, depression and anxiety, and Costochondritis.

I am currently going through perimenopause, along with General Anxiety Disorder, IBS and Fibro.
