Your symptoms sound alot like Fibromyalgia. How long have you been feeling this way?
http://www.neurologychannel.com/fibromyalgia/
I agree with Sarah, it definatly sounds like fibromyalgia. Trust me its no fun for I have it myself. I know exactly what you mean by 'your whole body hurting' I have the same thing happening to me, and I am 27. Mine started at the age of about 21 though. It took the doctors years to figure out what it was since there is no test for it and there is no cure either. There is only treatment, and everyone is different. I seem to have fibromyalgia worse than most.It effects my legs and arms more than the rest of my body. I can not remember the last time I was able to go a day without being in extreme pain. I have to take pain meds daily and my quality of life sucks!!
If you do think it may be fibromyalgia, please visit the site www.fibrohugs.com. You will also need to see a rhumatologist (sp?) they are the type of doctor who diagnosed me. Fibrohugs is an online support group that will help you understand this illness. My ID there is aurora2779 if you ever want to talk to me just drop me a line and I will help you as much as I can. The people there are great and they understand what you are going through.
BTW...
What meds are you currently taking for the pain? Does the pain feel like you have the flu,that type of aching,or do you have specific spots on your body which hurt more than others? It feels like muscle cramping and knots, and hurts like hell especially when pressed or touched or both?
If so, those are called trigger, or tender points and they are very painful. There is a way to relieve them somewhat but again, it is VERY painful. You have to put hard pressure on the knot or area that is tight. If you are like me and cant reach it (when its in my shoulder blades), then ask someone to put pressure on it for you to try to work it out. My boyfriend does this for me and he uses his nuckles. It will hurt and seem like its not worth it, but if you are able to loosen up the knot it feels alot better.
One thing I do suggest though is that if you have fibromyalgia, study up on it. Many doctors don't know much about it and they don't believe its a real illness, so therefore they don't know how to treat it. It is a hard illness to except and live with. I really hope for you and your family that it is not fibromyalgia, but maybe something else that has a cure. Good Luck either way though!! and please keep us posted on what you find out.
The thing is i already have so many problems i have,chronic pain,chronic advanced fibromyalgia,siezures,spasms daily,7 protuding discs,coxydinia,motor V.A. fractured pelvis,fractured L/leg,broke both legs and both arms,at times can't control bladder or bowels and had seven major surgeries and holding on 3 but some doctors are scared to do surgery on me,hey but that can wait and also facial migrain and severe numbness.
My main concern is the "cramps " getting all day and afraid i might get one to the heart and no one will be around and i might get a heart attack,my doctor said their's nothing he can do and i think thats wrong,yhey say that the shots last 9 months and i'm so worried.
PLEASE HELP ME

I found a great doctor in Virginia Beach that does some alternative treatments. His website is http://www.matrixtransformation.com/ He is helping a friend with stage 4 cancer right now. He was told on July 4th he had 2 weeks to live, it is September 4th and he is still living.
I am feeling this overall pain and tingling thing. My aunt has fibromyalgia really bad so I am praying that isn't what I have. It is horrific. I think I am going to Dr. D. today!
Good luck to all,
Rhonda Morin
i havent had any tests done but i am going to after reading this.
its kinda hard though because my wife thinks im just over reacting which is hard to take because i take pain very well and never complain.
anyway thank you all for your input..
Shaine....
I had diarrhea one day, then the next day I woke up my body ached from head to toe. Third day now and it still aches, stool isnt' as watery...moved up to soft now. What's this--a food allergy? Slight food poisining? Gastrointerritis? Electrolytes low? :(...treatment?

A "country" doctor to me to cut way back on my salt intake and drink 3x the amount of plain tap water that I normaly consume. He said "your salt intake is too high and your dehydrated". My 1st thought - he is nuts! my 2nd thought, i've got nothing to loose. So I drank 3x more water then usual yesterday.
It sounds crazy that it could be that simple but I'm in 50% less pain this morning then I was yesterday and I'll let you know how I'm doing tomorrow.
Please let me know if this works for you - good luck!
Any responses or suggestions? Thanks alot!
Penny
Any ideas
my body aches so much all the time.the pain is really bad all over my back,neck,arms,legs and shoulders.i also get dizzy quite alot and feel tired all the time.i went to my doctor but she wasnt much help does antone know what it could be.
i have a few days where i sometimes get better sometimes as long as a week then this terrible pain returns sometimes even worse, i have been to my doctors back and forward and have had blood tests and again put it down to fibro as calcium levels normal and no infections.
I do not get any sleep from all this pain and feel as though my friends and family are sick and tired of hearing about my pains and think it is all in my head(WHICH IT IS NOT). This pain is driving me mad an all my doctor has done is referred me to physio and has told me there is a long waiting list.
Please if anyone has any idea's then would be grateful to hear your comments.
I to am constantly stressed all the time as like yourself think to be in this much pain all the time that it must be something serious, i struggle some days to even do the housework and get dressed, have got doctors follow up appointment on 12th march to see how i am getting on, will let you no, feel like will just come out of there again with no answers and nothing to stop the pain, my doctor has perscribed a low form of anti depressant, which is annoying as would not feel depressed if did not have all this pain.
he has advised that stress can make fibo worse but keep explaining to everyone that before got all these pains was not stressed and still got it so how do you explain that?
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. it's a neuromuscular disorder which can cause a whole lot of wide spread pain of all types.
I didn't get diagnosed with it until i was 25, my mother has had it her whole life and did not know.
so I think if you thought you had fibro and it turned out you do not but you are still in pain and the docs are clueless you should ask if you can get a NVC and an EMG test done.
hope that helps those who may have nowhere else to turn.
for years my doctor made me think it was in my head and I was crazy so to actually get diagnosed with something real was very wonderful.
Does anyone have any idea of what this could be...I have had no luck with my PCP, Rhem, Nuro.

I refused Fiber and CFS as a diagnosis because they are diagnosis that tells a patient that "we know you hurt but we don't know what it is or what to do:(
It is treatable with antibiotics. You may have it forever and be able to stay pretty healthy. But have bouts here and there.
Anyone with Fiber that is tired of feeling like **** and wants to stop watching Judge Judy all day.....you have your answer so do what you will.
Good luck peeps

Many of these aches come about because you have not been taking care of your body as well as you should ( esp if you're only 20)
Taking care of yourself involves treating and caring for your body as if your body was that of your own child's. You watch that you eat well, nutritiously (no canned, super preserved with chemicals, super salty or sweet foods). Try to cook your foods daily ( no prepackaged stuff like mac and cheese -isn't cheese supposed to be in the fridge??? if it's not like cheezits then there's some chemical in it).
Make sure you sleep before 11 or 12. The organs needs its time to repair at night. Some people have so much work to do they stay up late much too often for their own good. When you don't get the rest you need, your body gets tighter and tighter causing muscle restriction and cutting off the circulation. Then you will have areas of poor circulation and tender spots.
Not just that, you have to make sure you drink enough water. Not coffee or soda but water. You are made up of mostly water. Imagine have dried up joints and tissue? There is no buoyancy to your soft tissues if there is not enough liquid in your diet.
You have to move...exercise...walk...you can't just sit all day. Your muscles hold up your bones. If you sit most of the day you will become weak and stiff. Then the muscles will not support your bones and joints and they will start to rub and wear down and hurt.
If you live like the American Indians, eating off the land, working in the garden and hunting and gathering, taking care of each other, then you will be better off. We live in a complex society. Too much fast food,,,,too fast paced...not enough time...
Stress can cause tension in muscles. Stress on the bodies can make you hurt. Please try meditation, deep breathing, imagery. They can all change how your body is keeping the stress in your body.
Stress is a killer. If you are worried about your family, about money, or about your life all the time, you're going to hurt yourself by breaking down your body. It's not worth it in the end.
For those who has been taking care of themselves, aches all of the body and numbness and tingling may be caused by a virus that decided to attack your nervous system. Viruses are tough to figure out.
Try to stay away from foods that are not cooked and prepared outside your home like raw oysters and clams and salads. You never know if bacteria or viruses are lurking or if the person separating the lettuce leaves washed their hands after peeing.
Don't stock up on vitamins. One multi is enough. Get the nutrients from foods. If you don't know how to prepare vegetables and lean meat look it up. Delicious recipes are everywhere. You need to take the time out to do that. Back in the day, no one had these symptoms. People are too stressed out nowadays about everything and tend to push their bodies to the limit. It's like a car, you need to tune it up all the time, check the oil, wash it, drive it around ( don't let it sit in the driveway), etc.
I hope this helps. If you need more guidance please see professional medical help. You can try all kinds of wellness avenues like acupuncture, acupressure, myofascial release, reiki, physical therapy, meditation practice, etc...
