"And I to have doen my share of box checking and yet no doc ever addressed the issues that I had checked so i figured all this time if they didn't say anything then all those symptoms were okay to have and nothing serious was wrong with me."
(Still don't know how to do the quote box ) I missed htis in your post Nelly! I have the SAME THING! In fact...at one point...I asked a doc about my symptoms specifically and asked if they thought it was fibro..and they said no. It didn't sound like fatigue and pain were my symptoms. Not too bright this man!!!!!!!!!
We are just all so alike...us fibromites gotta stick together. So we can remind each other just jow NORMAL we are....as fibromites!

Just wondering if you guys get all the symptoms all at once? And if you've had them your whole life? I get a lot of these symptoms. I'm tired ALL the time but when I try and sleep at night I just can't and when I do I have crazy dreams and toss and turn and never feel like I've actually slept, I kick DH in my sleep constantly, he says it's like sleeping next to a karate expert, I get this pain near my shoulder blade that runs round to my chest that feels like a pulled muscle all the time only I've never lifted anything heavy to have pulled it, I get "bruises" on my arms and legs that when you touch that area it feels like a big bruise only there's no bruise to be seen, I'm always frozen, I wear bed socks in 35 degree celcius heat and have the heater on at the first sign of cold, I'm always snuffly like I have hay fever only I don't, I ache constantly from the kidney's down to my ankles, it's like my bones are aching and a few other things that have slipped my mind for now. Does it sound possible that maybe this could be wrong? I've always had a feeling that it's not just IBS that's wrong with me. Hope you don't mind me gate crashing your conversation and I'd like to wish you good luck Heather!

You are right! We are so alike! I can't believe you did the same thing with your space heater!! I had an old one and people told me whenever it clicked on it sounded like an airplane landing!!
My feet are freezing right now!!!

Get checked out!! These symptoms may seem random to you, but they all may be connected!!
Right now at this moment, I have zapping back pains, a throatache and stuffed up nose, my feet and hands and knees are freezing, and my legs keep bobbing up and down. I'm also dead tired, and that's just me sitting here at my desk. The last couple days have been hard, but earlier in the week I was up and about, thinking clearly. Comes and goes in a short cycle.
