Well Liz, I gave the doc allll my symptoms and she didn't seem to think it sounded enough like fibro. Sigh I don't know, how achey do you have to be? How tired do you have to be? I have a constant dull ache in my back, but its not painful. I feel tired all day, but not tired enough to fall asleep at my desk (I used to be like that!).
Thats the problem with these 'syndromes' there's no definative tests. If the doc doesn't think I have it should I just leave it at that? I'm guessing there isn't much to treat fibro is there? I mentioned my sleep patterns are really poor - I'll wake up at least once a night to go to the loo because my bloat prevents my bladder from expanding enough - and usually once I'm awake I take a little while to go back to sleep. So she's prescribed me a med thats meant to 1) mildly sedate me, 2) alleviate my back aches, 3) relax my bladder and encourage more water absorption and 4) help with the depression (who'd have thought one drug could do so much!!)
I haven't started taking it yet, I don't know if I will as I HATE meds.
Anyway sorry, got off the track a bit. Do you think I should chase up the fibro more? Or just see whether the meds improve my fatigue, back ache and cloudy head?
