 Today was the normal aches,pains, and frustrations but it seems like every 4 months or so i just get so upset and go into some kind of spree. I just deleted my phone book because i am so upset with the people i know and i put a really cruel out going greeting on my voicemail. The people i know are just not understanding and think that i complain about my pains. But im 28 years old and the people i know are about the same age so im talking about FMS and their like fibro WHAT????. im like this useless. It's like talking to the air. Anyway i was diagnosed when i was 23 and i've pretty much tried everything but i was wondering does anyone get like localized pain in certain areas aside from the normal widespread. For instance i woke up a month ago and my shoulder was hurting really bad and it hasn't stopped on top of that i have the normal pain which is about 8 and the shoulder is about a 10

 im really wondering what fibro is myself, lol sorry

i joined this group b/c i have alot of pain all over, its always different, sometimes in my neck, sometimes in my lower back, sometimes in my feet, legs, arms, hips, jaw, ribs

maybe i should wiki fibro and see

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibromyalgia

tons of good info, my problem is after reading for 20 mins i still dont understand what fibro is.

i have alot of those pains listed, what should i ask my doctor?

what are the most common symptoms

hmmm this site is wonderful b/c i find out so much i didn't even know.

my doctor keeps telling me im fine. if he could only live in my shoes for 1 day he would feel what i feel.

i rather not have anymore pain pills, im currently on Norco for 4 bulging disks in my lower back. i dont even understand that b/c my doc says i need surgery, so i went to a neurologist and he says i dont need surgery.. grrrrr

if you lie now they will find out later and things will be worse then ever so just tell the truth now and deal with it

 Having bad pain in one area is NOT uncommon- at all. It doesn't even depend on the area- if you read the threads you are going to see people complain about lots of areas that give them more pain. I think the back area and shoulders are VERY common with fibro. There isn't always a reason why one area hurts so badly at least if it is fibro related.

 I think everyone here would love for a doc to tell us exactly what fibro is and what causes it. But no one seems to know. When I was diagnosed 17 yrs. ago my doctor is that fibro is a syndrome that affects my tendons, ligaments, and muscles. Now if you here any descriptions it is a chemical imbalance in our mind. Or it is a central nervous disease. Some doc.s call it a syndrome others call it a disease. I call it a PAIN in MY Everywhere. I ache constantly but I also have major pains in different areas. Alot of days my shoulders and neck are so inflammed and so painful that I just want to lay down and die. But I also can have major pain in my legs or my arms. Just about every part of your body will in time have a major pain. Even your insides. I have chest pains, the doc.'s say that my heart is good but it is affected by the fibro, or I have IBS, & RLS and every other problem you can think of. So no one knows exactly what caused fibro or how to cure it. But we here know how to handle it------With each others help. If you hurt some place then someone here will help.

I know that sometimes everyone of us feel like giving up but we do not because of our family-both families.

hopefully these Norco will kick in soon

norco causes other problems far worse i believe

thanx again & goodluck to you all

 I know exactly how you feel. I got diagnosed when i was 16 and im only 21. Its definately hard to deal with. Im in class at night and im doing my med law presentation on it so atleast a handful of people will understand what i go through on a daily basis.

My head spins all the time. i get stuck in the middle of sentences. I forget everything. my body "burns"

Its not something i want exactly but i try to goon with life liek we all do here.

A doctor actually wanted to try steroids to see if it would help manage the pain. That could be something to talk to your doc about.

 Im 27 so I know how you feel. I feel as though I'm in my 90's most days. At the pain clinic today I was walking all hunched over and the pain doctor asked me do you always walk that way, so I straightened myself out and said no, but the truth is I don't know if I always walk that way. I know I was nervous and also very cold. I was the only one in the room shivering though.

If your doctors are not treating your pain it might time to move on to a pain clinic. I just started mine today and I'm so glad I did!
