Introducing myself...

[Guest guest]

I'm a new member.

Not dxed with Fibromyalgia but wondering if I have it.

I want to learn more about it before I approach my Dr.

I'm in a support group for parents with special needs children

and someone posted some into on it. It sounded just like me.

Here are my symptoms.

Feeling tired a lot .

Feeling sick for no apparent reason.

Restless sleep (dxed with RLS) am on meds for that. Still I only sleep

until about 5 am.

IBS

Unexplained aches and pains.

Depression and anxiety. ON meds for both..

I feel that I am generally a happy person and wonder why I get depressed.

In my head I can talk myself out of anxiety, but not my body.

I saw the heading " Sore Arms " and it made me think of having a shower

today and

my arms feeling too tired to lift.

During period time I am exhausted. Beyond what I think " normal' is.

I had surgery in May 2007. I was almost paralyzed for 3 days because of

temporary

muscle damage. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

Any comments and responses are appreciated.

THANKS,

Elaine
