So since we all seem to mention the body aches and being ridiculously tired, I thought I would mention Fibromyalgia.

I told my doctors that I was incredibly sore everywhere and that even my skin itself felt like it hurt. My regular doc pushed on every pressure point and brought tears to my eyes. She said to mention it to my Rheumatologist and he said he was sure its fibromyalgia.

Of course I am still in denial about it and it has been a couple of months. I just didn't want to hear I had one more health problem. And his answer is to take Neurontin, which makes me feel disgusting and drugged so I have not done it yet.

I just figured I would pass along the idea in case any of you might need to explore it with your doctor.
