It is Fibro

[SleepyJulie]

Well, it's official. I saw a Rhumy today and she said I have a "classic case" of Fibro. When she squeezed my tender points, I thought I was going to jump out of my skin with pain. Holy crap.

She's giving me a ton of different things to try, so I hope it helps.

Just wanted to update you all. Any advice is appreciated.

It's good to get a diagnosis. Now you can research treatments, etc.

It sounds like your Rhumy has a lot of ideas to try out. I'll just list the ones that have helped me:
Magnesium with malic acid (for muscle pain)
massage, by someone who understands FM
acupuncture
Most important: get the sleep disorder under control. Getting good sleep will make a tremendous difference.

One more thing: there's a difference between FM pain, and trigger point pain. They take different treatments, and if you have both, treating one may make the other worse. I doubt if you have it, because you don't have a lot of pain. Come to think of it, I usually don't have a lot of pain, but definitely have both conditions.

Can't think of the names of any of the books, but there are several explaining trigger point pain, and lots of books about FM. The library is a great source for info.

I'm glad you have good medical help. You'll be fine.
