Fibromyalgia Support Group
You're not alone in your pain. Fibromyalgia is a condition that can be difficult to diagnose and manage. If you're trying to cope with pain throughout your body, sleep problems, general fatigue, or other common fibromyalgia symptoms, you're in the right place. The community is here for you to talk about therapies and share your challenges.
Update:
Hi guys. I just had my consultation with the GYN. And here is what is going on:
Basically my ultrasouond results raise some flags for possible pre-cancerous tissue (if not the presence of cancerous tissue). She said there were more than one polyp, all near the cervix, but that my cervix itself looked fine. She also said the muscle tissue of my uterus had varied thicknesses, which indicates possible fibroids.
We discussed DNC or D and C? I don't know which is correct.
She also made it clear that although she didn't feel I needed to have this done tomorrow, she felt strongly that I should address this within the next 2 months. Then she said at least by September.
The GYN said that although the ultrasound results can explain the post menopause bleeding I have been experiencing, and some of the pain, she said that the burning, spasms, contractions, and other pain associated with my vagina that took me to the doctor may really be attributed to Fibromyalgia.
She said we will know more as I heal after the procedure.
Thanks all for your support. I just wanted to let you know my current status with this and thank you again for the information you shared and the kindness you have shown.
Sincerely,
rsimmons

I have never had a moments regret about opting for the radical approach, although recovery isn't fun.
My comfort level and sex life became better than normal.
Just one person's experience, but wanted to tell you there is quality of life after a hysterectomy.
The best to you.
I really appreciate both of your thoughts. Very comforting.
Sincerely,

Fibromyalgia doesn't cause vaginal spasms but a commonly coexisting condition, vulvodynia, does. It comes up fairly often in my support group.
There is a lot of info around but this is a good place to start http://www.acog.org/~/media/For%20Patients/faq127.pdf?dmc=1&ts=20130810T0007274178
The spasms, aching, burning and pain from my Pelvic Floor Myalgia has been helped the most by physical therapy (there are physical therapists trained for this specific thing). They can do internal massage on the pelvic floor muscles and fascia and locate trigger points. I have one area inside on left side that is my main source of pain. They can also do biofeedback to help you learn how to relax those areas. That was huge for me.
Just wanted to share what helped me.
Hugs to you!
