Do I have Fibromyalgia, or am I paranoid?!
Question: Do I have Fibromyalgia, or am I paranoid!?
The last week or so my right upper arm and shoulder have felt incredibly uncomfortable and I cannot find any position that lessens this feeling!. It feels weak, and even lifting my arm takes an effort and lifting things, like a glass of water, hurts my arm!. Touching my arm doesn't make it hurt, but it increases the discomfort!. I looked up the symptoms, and it looks like I match to some!. Such as I have had TMJ for years (off and on), I have always had sleeping problems, I have head aches often, and sometimes it seems like I have short term memory loss, but it depends!. Also, I read that your periods are worse, and this last one (about a week or so ago) was the worse one I've had in years and years!. Major cramps, aches, fatigue, soreness, pretty much everything physically that can happen, did!. Which never happens for me!.
I have not been in any major accidents, and as far as I can remember, I didn't pull it or anything!. I do sleep in a weird way, so I thought that might be it, but I've done that for years, so it's weird that it would just now present a problem!.
I described my problem to a friend, and he said it was exactly what his ex-wife described in the beginning of her FMS problems!.
So, do you guys think I have it, or am I just jumping the gun!? (Either way, I know there's no cure, I just want to know)!. Thanks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You really need to have this checked out by a Doctor!. While Fibro is painful it is not life threatening but SLE (Lupus) is and the symptoms can be very similar!. Fibro has very definite trigger spots on the body which you can find out about on any medical site under Fibromyalgia!. Never take chances with your health, this could be a simple virus, the result of a new exercise routine, or one of many short terms problems but you must rule out anything more sinister!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
A physician once told me that fibromyalgia is like saying you have a sore neck!. It describes a series of symptoms, but does not define a specific disorder!. You might have a circulatory or neurological problem that creates fibromyalgic symptoms!. I don't defend him, but I offer this to you as an alternative for you to consider!.
As for your other ailments, yes, I would consult a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
