Fibrositis, Fibromyalgia and TOS - is there a connection?
 
Hey after doing more research i am starting to think that alot of the muscular pains, stiffness, joint stiffness ect are symtpoms of Fibrositis, Fibromyalgia and that it could becontributing to the TOS situation.

A massage therapist old me that alot i have Fibrositis in my back from years of computer work ect.

I have also read that Fibromyalgia causes muscle tightness in the shoulder neck upper back ect . Also weather changes affect the situation when its colder things are worse when its warmer things are better.

Could there be a connection ?

I have fibromyalgia as well. I think sometimes all these chronic pain things kind of start to overlap.

my sx are just like fibro..even more than tos. i actually posted on a fibro forum and they said that fibro sufferers don't have any neuromuscular abnormalities so i couldn't have fibro.

people with fibro respond well to supplements for deficiencies and sometimes have thyroid issues, i think? you might want to get a metabolic panel with vitamins checked..

i really gave up on dxing myself. it's pretty pointless after awhile. basically my nervous system hates me bc i have no muscle.
