I am not sure if I have Fibromyalgia but my upper arms as well as legs hurt most of the time. I had a breast reduction in August'07 and wonder if my arms hurting was from that but when my legs started to hurt, well, I not sure. I had the flu back in February'08 and since then, I hurt most days. If I take Aleve or Advil, it will help but that not good for your body. I do work out but I feel like I am older than I am, at the young age of 47.

I will talk to my doctor about this but thought I would do my homework first.

It has now effective my sleep at night. When I roll over, it hurts.

Thanks for listening,

Linda

The first thing that happened with me was either a bad cold or the flue with severe neuralgia in my head. After that went away in about 6 months my feet started to hurt when I stood on them first thing in the morning then it progressed to my ankles and calves. After that it was all downhill.

Welcome to the family, Linda.
