Do you have any other conditions related to fibromyalgia?

I am not sure, I have had a lot of different conditions , some before and other after I think, it is so difficult.

I suffer from all of them. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder called Sarcoidosis a number of years before my fibromyalgia. I was also diagnosed with IBS beforehand too. 

I used to be a very active upbeat kind of person who now struggles with day to day activities. People don’t understand the amount of pain I am in because they can’t see the condition. 

I suffer from all the above alongside fibro. It has changed me from an outgoing, sociable and happy person who worked full-time in a job I adored, to a withdrawn, anxious and sad person who has had to take early retirement.

I hate this condition with a passion, and I definitely feel that there should be more awareness made about it, so we can teach all those naysayers who think it nothing.

I was diagnosed with Crohns, later to be changed to ulcerative colitis, mennieres, joint hyper mobility, osteo arthritis, about two three years before being diagnosed with fibromyalgia. 

I was very busy previous to all of this, if anything underweight. After 20+ years of pain, problems, steroids etc, I am much slower and at least five stone overweight. I also have osteo phytosis, bone grows on bone. Had hip op last year because of phytosis, so much pain relief from day one. Now waiting for knee op in coming month or so. I already do lot of gardening but hoping to do more after op and lose weight.

I don't worry about other peoples opinions, I believe their hangups are probably worse than mine. We all have our demons.

I have combat PTSD which is the background trigger for manic depression along with cervical strain from a helo accident. The cervical strain was exacerbated by work as a dentist which my consultant considers the trigger for the onset of my fibro myalgia. Like many suffers I have a complex clinical background and have been diagnosed as having silent migraines which when severe mimic a TIA, effecting my speech and balance.

I suffer from gut pain and on bad days my testicles feel they have been kicked by a heavy boot.

After 6 years of Fibro I am now fighting Autoimmune Progesterone Dermatitis. It is agony. Fevers, more pain, rashes that go muscle deep and are agony to touch. There’s a chance of anaphylaxis because it’s an allergy to hormones. 

I really wish there was more research being done fibromyalgia is not noticed enough too many people are living  miserably don't really have lives at all we need better treatment desperately!!!!

I am an insulin dependent diabetic, possibly as a result of untreated Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.  I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia about 5-6 years ago although I had been experiencing pain for some years previously which I had put down to the lipids I had been proscribed as part of my diabetic regime. I have suffered from depression on a few occasions over the years, I also suffer from insomnia (inherited from my mother).  Due to a bad road accident I have developed a fairly high tolerance for pain and try to avoid medication as much as possible, however, having always been a high energy person I find the fatigues are the worst aspect of the condition.  But- I tell myself it could be worse, it is not a terminal disease!

I have great sympathy for anyone with fibromyalgia I ache every part of me feels like I’ve been kicked all over mornings and late evening are worse I can barely bend my fingers or ankles in morning the slightest touch by someone feels like they’ve hit me and I’m bruised my ears can’t bare anything touching them apart from my hair I can not have clips in my hair or my whole scalp hurts it’s hard to explain to anyone what I feel I no longer socialise I’m always having naps throughout the day and can’t be bothered to even get dressed most days more info needs to be out there to let none sufferes to understand us fibro sufferers because I’ve had people say every one has aches and pains it’s part of life as if fibro is nothing more than that aches and pains it effects mind and body and causes sufferers depression loneliness constant severe pain not to mention fatigue 

I have suffered with Fibromyalgia for over 10 year's...It took my go over 5 year's to agree that it was fibromyalgia...at the moment I am going through a hard time with fibro flare ups

Some days I feel as if I could clean the house from top to bottom ..which of course I try to do ..Then I am confined to bed for days ...The symptoms

I find the hardest to cope with in insomnia...and also the fibro fog ...I know what I want to say but my brain doesn't work.

I hate this illness it has robbed me off a normal like .
