I'm starting to think I could have sensory neuropathy and fibromyalgia. In addition to being completely worn down for two weeks out of the month, I have pain in my feet, legs, hands,and arms - burning feelings, feeling my feet are freezing cold.

My problems seem to be more in my joints - knees, elbows, feet. For for the two week period every month, I get completely fatigued, have sleep disturbances, hip pain, and trouble concentrating.

How do people get fibromyalgia? I swear that mine all started from a repetitive strain injury. I started a new job, and pounded out a highly detailed instruction manual on a laptop. Slowly it started in my hands to my elbows. Then six months later it shows up in my feet and works it way up to my knees. Is it possible to have a gradual onset, or is it all at once?
