What is FibroMyalgia? I am in my 40's, healthy, but my legs and arms and back ache alot! I wake up from pain!

Fibro is a neuro-muscular condition that causes widespread pain, difficulty sleeping, and fatigue. It primarily affects women in their 30's to 50's.

a disorder with pain in the fibourous tissue components of muscles....u may hve this..go to doc

Fibromyalgia is a type of arthritis. It forms crystals in the soft tissue (skin, muscles, etc) of the body creating pain. I can be anywhere from a small spot to the entire body.
Most of the time a doctor will pass it over and not see it, sometimes it takes a large clinic to really determine what you have.
Some can get by on something like a mild Prozac for nerves and it helps while others have to take daily shots.

If your doctor hasn't helped you, see a Neurologist or a Rhumatologist.

Read that. I have a similar condition and I have found that the herb Feverfew helps inflammation. And of course relaxation and exercise (not strenuous) help also.


Good luck to you!

Ps Oh yes, Stop the caffeine!

Oooh Hun...skip the antidepressants...these designer personality drugs are so dangerous...here's a website with the antidepressant drugs..their pharmaceutical Companies, their Drug logs..chemical studies and Clinical studies, etc. http://www.antidepressantsfacts.com/..a lot of reading..so many facts... FMS is a horrible disease to live with.. I'm well versed in it..many years. Make sure your dr. believes in it!!!
Before accepting this diagnosis, make sure he has run all rests to rule FMS out, for it is a mind bending painful thing to live with!! HONEST!!! Research this on your own as well and keep a pain and symptom log. This is VIP~~~ I hope for your sake it is something less severe and easily treatable. The use of any antidepressant can make this worse....just read, for pain causes Depression ...not the other way around!! tis a vicious circle of severe pain causing hopelessness,,,never let the Docs bully you!! My own doctor taught me this...the pain MUST be ADDRESSED and TREATED...there the help begins and quality of life is restored!! NOT the other way around! I do not mean to frighten you, but the suicide rate from FMS is high....stay strong~~and don't believe everything you hear...keep up on your research, and if possible, join an FMS support group as they will aide you in knowledge..proper Dr.s and the right treatment for you....Hugs, hope, health and happiness to you....and MY~ B E S T~ TO~ YOU
PS: you do have the right to have Your pain treated..what works or YOU works for YOU!!! Never stand down..stand UP for you and fight for tomorrow until you get adequare results
