2 doctors who I have been seeing over the last 2-3 months think I might be suffering from this condition.

My dad suffers from it and all my Blood Tests came back normal, they have put me on Gabapentin and are on about referring me to a pain clinic so they can have a look at me and also as they are able to diagnose this condition.

I am always wondering about this, my mum suffered with it and I have been in pain for so many months now. Doctors just say I have tendonitis in arm, muscular pain in back. I suffer with my back, arms, mainly left, legs and it never goes, some days its just worse than others. Had bloods and they were clear. I also have dizziness, tingling, weird sensations but I always put it down to anxiety, even though I dont feel anxious when it happens. Feel as if I will just have to suffer as have gotten nowhere with the doctors. It's so frustrating x
