Confused please help-Experiencing burning pains-upper body


I have been experiencing some unusual symptoms lately.i have fibromyalgia&have had for several years.by the way the symptoms
I have now that started a week or two ago arent like fibromyalgia.
I been having burning&dull aches in neck/throat&in my upper
back&back of neck.They start at nighttime.The neck/throat
pain will start a few hours before bed(am niteowl)then when
i get in bed the upper back pain&pain in back of neck starts.
Recently I started experiencing cold chills every 3-4 days
with it at bedtime when I get into bed.Then the other day
I also got some bad shakes with severe cold chills&felt
weak sorta like when my sugar is low.But I had diabetes
diagnosis 3 yrs ago when I was on antidepressants then
when I changed docs the new doc said my sugar levels are fine.
I feel neglect by my doc b/c i started amitryptiline&the symptoms
seem to be occuring with the meds.But my doc&her husband are both
docs&both say it isnt related to my med but is under serious side effects
so its got me really scared.The doc is running blood work to check&I will
get next week.In meantime I been reading about MS & am worried I
may have it.My doc wont refer me to a neurologist.She just puts me
on meds to relieve pain for fibromyalgia but it feels pretty bad&I
dont want to complicate things more by continuing meds&having
symptom not knowing if the med is the problem or something more
serious like MS.My fathers mother died of 3-4 possible diseases in
her late 50's.I am 33 but her symptoms started in her 40's I think.
her 1st diagnosis was lupus,then,polymyositis while alive.After
her death they did two autopsies&said was cystic fibrosis or
muscular dystrophy.A lot of her symptoms are what I have.
One last thing,my mothers mom has fibromyalgia&osteoporosis.
I hope someone out there has similar symptoms that already
has diagnosis.Thanks,Shellie.
