In the last few days I have had some additions to my symptom list. I now have a deep ache (not just at joints) & a soreness when I touch certain spots, especially upper arms and shoulders. My fingers feel stiff and achey too. I had a RA test previously that was neg.
I am starting to wonder about this fine line of widespread neuro pain and Fibro pain which is also bodywide by definition. I wonder though, why this would come a year and a half after neuro pain and sensations (did PN cause fibromyalgia), or is it actually one in the same? So many questions, so little answers. Feel very fatiqued lately too.......... |

Some docs say Fibro doesn't exist-its a catch-all term used when there are no other explanations. Sufferers are of a different opinion, though. there is a fibro forum/BB here on neurotalk. I'd check that out.

Yeah, tow of my doctors (arthritis doctor and pain management doctor0 told me I had fibromyalgias before I had the nerve conduction study. Now, I guess I have both. I personally think they are one in the same, although some doctors don't believe in fibromyalgia. They certainly seem to treat it the same, don't they.

I have diagnosis of PN. I have never had one of those nerve conductions tests. After some months of PN I am starting to have sore spots on my body that feel like bruises. Is that a sign of fibromyalgia? The same drug I am on, gabapentin, is used to treat both.

I have been diagnosed with both... the FMS for a long time. Parts of my body feel bruised - really most of the time. I am prescribed Savella for the FMS. I am unable to tolerate Neurontin and Lyrica.

It makes sence to me, and I bet one day there will be a name for this mystery neuro pain without loss or reason found. Fibromyalgia was unnamed for many years too, only since the 70's was it named and treated as a "real illness." |
