anybody heard of this ?
anybody heard of this or can tell if this is fibromyalgia ?
I have muscle aches from neck down the spine to the hip area and then down the legs ( front and back) to my feet. it feels like the muscles are tense. But the weird thing is its only on one half of my body at on point, either left or right,and it shifts from when side to another during sleep, or when am not paying too much attention to the pain.
Drs think its anxiety, but i have been on treatment for that for around a year now with no results.
your feedback is much appreciated.

Everyones fibro symptoms can be so different. Mine started about 24 years ago. I was first diagnosed with lupus, then it was hepatitis then it was rheumatoid arthristis, then it was just arthritis. My bouts started at lasting 3 weeks then progressed to 3 months, this time it has been 9 months. The only relief I got was going off of work. Still in alot of pain but don't have to worry about getting up at 4 am for work.
My symptoms each flare have been so different. This time it started in the shoulders up to the base of my skull, sharp stabbing pains. The doc first said it was stress. As my symptoms became worse and seemed to move all over my body he finally sent me to a rheumatologist & he said I have 18 of 18 of the pressure points. The pain was so excruciating before I went off of work. My whole spine felt like a lightning bolt was shooting down it, it went into my butt cheeks, down my left leg into my foot. And like you said it would then move. Some nights it felt like somebody about 500 lbs was sitting on my hip and pushing it into the bed springs. My hands would throb, ache then start to burn. My shoulders ache, my elbows sometimes feels like there is a tight elastic around them cutting off the circulation. My feet ache I can't bend over, I am now getting dizzy spells & very lightheaded. So like I said everyones symptoms are so different, but it is nice to talk to people who are going through the same things. I am lucky as my husband is very consiterate about how I am feeling, at first I figured he would be leaving me but that hasn't happened.
Ask your doc to send you to a rheumatologist, he will be able to diagnose you properly.
Hoping to hear from you soon.

This is a hard one.....it can be many things that causes you so much muscle pain.......
I would have my doc go thru process of elemination to rule out other causes instead of 'anxiety', although anxiety can cause many symptoms as well.
I would get 2nd, 3rd .....and so on opinions until I'm satitisfy. Meanwhile, try not stress yourself out by thinking the worst. Do take care.
