Fibromyalgia Symptoms HOME

emichelle, theres nothing wrong with you, your perfect. I know how you feel, along with most of us on this board. Have you been diagnoised with fibro? If you have, then your just going thru the great world of fibro. I go thru these symptoms on a daily basis. I think your doc. was right by having you go to physical therapy. You need to get the muscles in your body loosened up. You will be surprised how much better youll feel from that alone. Just make sure you go to someone good and pref. someone who has dealt with fibro patients. you seek the wrong one it could backfire. This could help with your sleep issue as well but if it doesnt tell your doc you need him to prescribe something for you. Sleep is vital for you to start feeling better. Hope I was of some help and good luck to you.

Hi, Michelle

As I was googling Fibromyalgia and chest pain, I came across your post. I couldn't help but register to this website so I can respond. I do not have the answer for you but I completely understand you. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia about a year or year and a half ago, however I had experienced all the pains in legs/arms etc....but a about a week ago I started getting the same pain in the chest you described..you might as well been describing "me"...needless to say I went to the local clinic for an observation, they did a EKG it came abnormal so the rush me to the ER, however at the ER, they did the same exams you went through with the exception of the MRI and sent me home with no explanation just saying I was okay and gave me pain medication (which I do not even think it is for fibro)they thought it was GERD...even though I told them I had never had problems with acid reflux they gave me the meds....I know you are looking for an answer which I do not have but I thank you for posting this...it makes me feel that I am not alone and crazy...not only do you have to experience the pain but also worry about other around you not understanding. Hope you feel better

Hello emichelle and welcome to our board, we will help you, console you and even give our desire to seek new medical help when needed.

Wondering what FIBROMYALGIA is called:

"The Irritable Everything" Syndrome." Because it does!!!

Chronic pain is a world unto itself, the simple things in life are no longer simple, but there are ways about it. Pain moves from being an unwanted, occasional guest intruding in your life to being the driving force behind all decisions.

A pain is having widespread pain, if you are still undiagnosed or misdiagnosed it will cause you havoc in your life, until you get a firm diagnostic.

It will mean a complete lifestyle change.

Stop drinking colas, coffees, teas except the white or green teas, do not eat fried foods and no junk foods. No cigarette smoking, no drinking and please drink water by the galons.

Eat moderately, and do eat more fruits and vegetables, minus the salt, and the butter.

Go to bed early and try to relax, if you can and if you can go for a nice bath to relax you.

Continue to smile my dear you are not alone, we got you covered. We will help you as much as we can. The rest is easy, show up at the doctor and show her where it hurts.

PS: I shall send you a few more notes for you to read to help you out.

emichelle, I have had pains in my neck, upper back and houlder area for years. I was told by a friend that I had fibro, I was in denial. I had my gall bladder out, thinking that it would relieve the pains, but I continue to have those same pains. I am so glad that this forum is here, because a person could really go off her rocker....thank you all for your postings, they are truly helpful. God Bless!
