Fibromyalgia + Rectum spasms & nerve pulsations

[AngelIyz]

I'm 21 years old and have been diagnosed by Fibromyalgia 3 years ago. I took a mild anti-depressant treatment (Tryptizol) for one year and it improved my sleeping efficiency (but not the muscle spasms/ pain), later i took Lyrica for one month, but i got nerve pulsations and tremors all over my body as a side-effect so i quit.

My problem with Fibromyalgia is partially solved as i'm now having relaxation physiotherapy sessions on my trigger points (i think they're somehow effective, but on the long run). However, there's this problem that is affecting my whole life, that is- i get frequent rectum spasms and non-sensational pulsations that originate from the rectum and cause me tremors all over my limbs and back. I'm not sure if this has to do with Fibromyalgia or if it's a side-effect of medications and anti-depressant treatment.

I really need your help as it seems no doctor is aware of how this problem is affecting my life.. i have difficulty defecating, not constipation but because of this weird spasm at the rectum muscles. In addition, i've read about PGAD (Persistant Genital Arousal Disorder) and i think it is similar to these nerve pulsations that i get and it is often a consequence of anti-depressant treatment. I'm really worried lest it would affect my marriage life, therefore i'm postponing all my wedding plans with no definite reason because i don't know how my future life would be like.

I appreciate your help, thanks.

You know I have read a lot about this in my search for these crazy symptoms over the yrs and did think there was some connection. I did grow up on a farm and spent a lot of time in our dog lot (we had hunting dogs) and I have spent a lot of time with every animal you can think of and have been an avid hiker, so that wouldn't be out of the question. The funny thing is, and something I have questioned over the yrs. is when I've had to take an antibiotic for something I always had a spell of feeling better, more energy, which made me question why that was. So you may have something there.Thanks, I'll be on yet another search.

I told you to get IGENEX Lyme testing done.  Every one of these symptoms are Lymes and coinfections.


Thankgiving, research www.immed.org about chronic intracellular bacterial infections (Mycoplasmal).  I think if you had either Lyme or Mycoplasma testing done at a specialized lab, you would find the root of your problem. Mycoplama fermentans, Hominis, Penetrans are the primary infectious mycos.

This condition is so confusing. I have all that and have been to many doctors and nothing shows up but RA+ on the low end. I have been dealing with it for  yrs. and the symptoms change. I am 61 and all thru the yrs. I have had all kind of different problems, it is so amazing how it just jumps around. I think it is some kind of indifferential connective tissue
autoimmune condition, which means it can be anything. It is very frustrating because you can't get a definitive diagnose and people think you are a hypocondriac (sp?) (forgive my spelling, that's another thing) I burn all over, and my hands have horrible attacks where they swell, pop, and hurt. My hips hurt, legs, feet, just everything. When I was younger I had upper respiratory problems constantly, but now it's changed to just hurting and burning all over. I connect it to our family history of RH- incompatibilty. I do believe that it is connected to autoimmune disorder. Medical field is not into it, but I have researched it for yrs. and whether anybody else believes or not, I DO. and I believe that even though you may not be negative yourself, it can be in the family. There are many people who have a lot of stress but do not have this, stress does exacerbate conditions for sure, but this is different, and I do not believe it is just stress. Research autoimmune disorders. One of my worse problems have been EXTREME fatigue, and they would come in cicles and that is better now because of the meds I am on, one of the main ones is thyroid, and noone would treat me for it because it didn't show up very much on tests.But, I am on other meds that definitely help. I am now on a medication regiment that is helping, it took some time, but I feel better than before. Hate to be on drugs, but I am tired of missing out on life.I'll be glad to share info if you wish.

hello. I have posted in other forums and just came across this one and it sounded pretty familiar. I am a 31 yr old female and have been having some weird symptoms for the past 3 months. It started with tingling and numbling in my left foot and at the same time I believe I came down with mono as I have tested positive for ebv in the past but never had any symptoms that i noticed until now. the fever, chills, sore throat and swollen glands have now recided but I was left with a beast that still has not gone away. the tingling/numbing has been in my system from the very beginning. I have had test after test including a recent mri(brain)  which only showed sinus infection. One of the neurologist I saw said that I had fibromyalgia symptoms and then dismissed me. I now have I guess you call them tremors in my body and I literally feel the nerves jumping in my body. My legs and feet hurt including I have pains in my butt! Literally! It feels like whatever it is is just traveling up and down my spinal cord causing problems. Now I feel the jerking and pain in my butt and and back it's really concerning me. My new doctor a neuromuscular doc wants me to get another mri but of my spine next. She also did mention that many of her patients have these types of symptoms and it's all due to stress. I know stress can cause things to happen but not these weird symptoms?! She knows that I am under stress and I wonder if that is why she said it. i don't understand how mothers are not suppose to be stressed if they are raising children alone while husband is deployed all the time. Some advice and med help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Just read these posts, and was glad to see that other people were talking about this. The rectal area has a lot of nerves, and muscles and I've had pain there every since I had a hysterectomy, very painful vaginal problems, and throbbing in the rectal area, and it all depends on the bowel movement of the day, some days it is not to bad and other days it is unbearable, and this condition makes you feel so isolated, because of the the nature of it's location. Thanks for sharing, and giving some solutions. So what kind of doctor does the botox injections? And does the Hyoscyaminc sulfate work?
