Overlapping Illnesses
So after seeing the doctor and having multiple allergic reactions in the last few weeks, my doctor explained to me that with Fibromyalgia many sufferers also have overlapping illnesses. Though not essentially related to fibromyalgia they seem to coincide with it quite often. Apparently, I have developed Multiple Chemical sensitivities as well as P.O.T.S. (Postural Orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), restless leg syndrome and IBS. So, just wondering how many others have overlapping illnesses, Iā¦ read more
Overlapping illnesses I mean:)
There are like anywhere up to 100+ diff. dx related to fibro:(
I have read in many different places be it book, internet, whatever that Fibro seems to coincide with many other illnesses. Like IBS, Migraines, RLS, Autoimmune Diseases, and Depression/Anxiety.
Before I got diagnosed with Fibro I was diagnosed with RLS, IBS, GERD, Chronic Cluster Migraines, Carpul Tunnel, Ulnar Neuropothy, Hip Dysplasia, & Post Laminectomy Syndrome just to name a few. Since the Fibro diagnoses I've also had more added like Sjogrens Syndrome, Hypothyroidism, SI Dysfunction and RA just to name a few more. I look at my list of diagnosis and I want to crawl in a hole. It's getting ridiculous! Now I know why my dad hated doctors!
I have hypothyroidism besides fibromyalgia.
I have osteoarthritis, IBS, migraines, TMJ, now depression and anxiety .I have to see neurologist soon cause I have numbness,like pins and needles in both hands -just fingers. Waiting for more test results. Hugs to you.
