Hi everyone.
I have had a few very weird things that I do that I am wondering if they all boil down to FM? or CFS? or maybe even TMJ?
I realized only becasue someone pointed it out to me ..that I grind my teeth an awful lot. I NEVER noticed before. I was kind of embarrassed by it....but my jaw always seems to be clenched and the grinding continues. I am very aware of it now and try to NOT do it...but man....I cant seem to stop myself.
I also have this weird patch of sensitive ( I dont know what else to call it) skin on my back right above my right shoulder blade. IT gets or feels really itchy...but when I scratch it...it hurts. It burns at times as well.... there is no mark there ..there is no sign of anything like skin irritations....I have mentioned it to my doctor and she gave me a cream but of course...it did not help. So I was just wondering if this could possible be another one of t he quirky symptoms of Fibro?
If it is...and someone else has one or two of these things...what do YOU do to help with the problem. Any input would be very helpful. Short of keeping my mouth full at all times....the clenching, grinding and the weight gain is inevitable!!
Thanks in advance for your help...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I would never presume to dx you, (even if I have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express) but I will say it certainly seems like it would be worth consulting with a TMJ (non surgeon) specialist.
Feel free to msg me if I can be of any help.
Gentle Hugs
