Get checked!! I used to think the same as you I could do all these things before the kids and now I seem so tired. But I always had alot f the symptoms but the tiredness and sleeplessness increased after kids. My doc told me that the Fibro peaks at a certain point I thin btwn. 30-35 not sure but he also said stress exacurbates it brings it to the front.
I can't sit in one position to long or my legs fall asleep and I do do the leg bobbing thing, but it seems you are stretching every few seconds is a form of not being able to keep your legs still.
I am in agreement w/ don't self diagnose thing and think you should make an appt. w/ a doctor. I hope for the best that the frog hasn't gotten you too.

What the heck is with all these IBS people getting fibro??? It makes me so angry! 
When did this happen, Nelly? Did you suspect that you had it? I'm so sorry to hear that. Big hugs to you. But you're strong and that will come in handy.
Is there a link between IBS and fibro? 
Big hugs to you!

I am no expert but those symptoms do seem to fit with fibro. If you do find out that you have it then you'll be able to start your treatement and hopefully improve.
Gosh, I wonder how many people with IBS also have fibro?
You're tough as nails and have the bext attitude and sense of humour. You'll beat this fibro and kick it's butt.
Big GENTLE hugs though!

I've had this for at least as long as I've had IBS, if not longer. It's so weird that now I have a name for it! The doc said that the #1 symptom of fibro was IBS.

You're such a good friend, Tina! You always know what to say! I appreciate the encouragement, girlfriend!!
I'm really looking forward to getting some treatment for some of these symptoms!!! The diagnosis is a GOOD thing for me, because without it I'd just think I had all these random ailments and buy into being a hypochondriac or just LAZY! And to think I've built my schedule around my slacker life all these years, when it turns out I don't HAVE to be suck a slackstress!!
Not that I don't LIKE slacking off, mind you...!

Pretty much everyone with Fibro either has IBS or will develop IBS...the problems with neurotransmitters and pain-amplification that are typical of the digestive system with IBS are all over the body with Fibro...that's why it's nickname is Irritable Body Syndrome!

You definitely have my support Nelly. And by know you should know that I consider you a friend!
You're not lazy at all! I know that well. Because of my insomnia, some days I don't have a lot of energy and have been called lazy before. I'm not lazy just tired and perfectly happy staying in sometimes.
I think it's such a great thing that you'll be working from home in your new job. That will help you keep things at your own pace.
I agree that the diagnosis is a good thing. Now you know you aren't crazy and can get your doctor to work with you on this.
YAY!!!!!! 
I'm a huge slacker and proud!
