Guest guest Posted August 15, 2002 Report Share Posted August 15, 2002 Hi all-- I'm not sure if I have FMS yet -- waiting on test results... I was hoping that ya'll could help me. I am in some serious pain today like never before. My name is Janie and I live just north of Houston, TX. Age range: I just turned 35 on Monday Male/female: Female What are the symptoms? HORRIBLE aches and pains---mainly in my legs and my back is always tired.. when I lay down at night to go to sleep my whole body starts jerking. Has you illness been diagnosed? No How long did you suffer before you got help? seems like forever. It started getting real bad in the past couple of years... I thought it was because I had 2 very active children and a full time job. Is there a time that you can remember when it started? I remember it as a child but more often as I reached my 20's Some of us have found lack of exercise we are overweight. Have you found this to be a problem also? I'm not overweight but I can't find the energy to exercise... I want to but ... you know. Are you on disability? No -- work full time inside and outside of the home. What have you found that helps ease the pain, warm baths, medications etc.? I'm looking???? Do you have sleep problems? YES How do you deal with it? I don't deal very well. Do you have family that understands your illness? Only my Mom and my daughter... their legs hurt also... ((Is this hereditary??)) What type of Doctor have you found that has helped you the most? So far my general practitioner.... PS -- I also suffer from Hep C and Hidradenitis Supperativa..... and I'm already on Serzone for depression and anxiety.... Thanks everyone for any help.....
