fibro or just anxiety?

[ItWillPass]

I am so nervous... I have been trying so hard to not google symptoms, but I checked out Apriltones webpage link, and I am so sure I have fibromalagia!!!!!!!!!!!! I seriously have all the symptoms! Does anyone else have these symptoms with just plain anxiety? I like to think what I have is just anxiety, and one day it will pass, like all of my other symptoms do... but it terrifies me to think that I may have an actual disease. I am just REALLY achy. my fingers are killing me, everything hurts... I also have a ton of ectopic beats... and my memory is terrible these days. Can this just be plain anxiety? i am so scared!! what do you all think?

ItWillPass,

I also have been diagnosed with fibro. To actually have been diagnosed you need to see your doctor and have trigger points analyzed. I'm also from the USA so you can see a pain specialist or a rheumatologist. A pain specialist diagnosed me. In my opinion anxiety and fibro symptoms overlap so it is hard to diagnose. To ease your mind please see your dr because only they can actually make a decision if it is really fibro. Hope I helped.

I have all the symptoms of fibro, my GP was sure I had it too but recently my rheumatologist has confirmed I don't have it and that my symptoms have been brought on by chronic hyperventilation, anxiety and stress.

fibro i might have because i have ibs and they say they go hand in hand i have buring pain and numbness in my shoulders and lower neck..But my gi doc says its all in my head

IBS and fibro are not twins and one does not lead to another.

However Fibro is hard to diagnose and some Gps are not helpful so yoiu need to do a lot of research yourself

April - will you post the national society website here please. Thanks
