Just questions about FM

I was recently diagnosed with Gulf War Illness, however my PCP diagnosed me with FM. Out of 18 tender points, 13 of mine are painful. I feel like I have "swollen armpits" and tenderness in the area "behind" my armpits on the back. It is very painful to lie down on my back. I also have "aching teeth" which drives me crazy.

Aside from this, does anyone here have worse pain when the weather is cool and damp?

The collarbone area and pectoral muscles are very painful and feels "achey and flu like" Is this common?

My collar bone often burns like hot pokers are on it. I am just diagnosed too. I figured it out before my doctor did, but contrary to some on the list, I have been treated with respect, dignity and support. Thank goodness.

God, I can't believe I've found someone mention the achey teeth. Mine are driving me mad. The dentist can't explain it and they are also moving.I also find my legs hurting loads more if I am cold.

I'm also surprised when I hear about the achy teeth, my face is killing me, started with nerve pain, now in the jaw bones and teeth.

I'm just looking into getting tested because of my syptoms but I wanted to say that as the pain increases, I've begun feeling pain/aches in my teeth, like they are moving. The strangest sensation and one I'm sorry that you seem to share. Just know, it's not in your head.
