Hello all!
I have been feeling physical symptoms of anxiety and depression for about the past two months. Muscle tension that is non-stop.. panic feelings that all surround me having a serious illness.. First it was Diabetes, then MS then...etc etc.. i have had blood tests, EMG, MRI of brain and spine, CT scans.. You name it. I get twitches in the eyelid, comes and goes, sometimes muscle twitches... I wake up often at night.. My left forearm gets stiff and makes it difficult to do fine manipulations.. I constantly bug out about what is wrong with me.. SO i started reading all this info on FIbro.. the tender spots etc.. and i started poking and prodding.. turns out that i have a tender spot above both the right and left buttock.. The spots are at the point where i can feel them a little when i sit down.. Just sore, not shooting pain or anything.I also get soreness between my shoulder blades.. sometimes between my pecs gets sore too.. not terrible pain, just annoying. What i am asking is, if anyone knows or has experienced anything like this. Oh, i also get some tingling in my left foot and sometimes in my hands.. Hasnt happened as much as it used to though. Just as anxiety raises.

well I was told I had fibro many years ago, the good news is its not considered degenerative. It seemed to get better and then worse suddenly. Mine pain started as a direct of a very serious car accident, I have never been the same. But I think sometimes fibro is too easy to say then to try and figure out whats going on. If you experience alot of anxiety like me it can do a # on your muscles. I speak from experience. Have you ever been injured, had a bad fall, have circulation issues been considered, diabetes, those symptoms you are describing fall into soooo many possibilities I would maybe go see someone. Tingling is often a sign of pinched nerve or something else. Even bad posture can do a number on your back over the years. I have experienced level 10 pain when I broke my neck-worse than having a kid- and over the years have noticed my muscle pain flairs up with stress. Please consider all the possiblities.

Know how you feel! Ever think you are creazy of making things up??? Yes it is Fibromyalgia. It takes several months to figure out. Also it does lead to deperssion & anxiety! It is a vicous cycle. The meds take a while to work and to find a good combination that works only for you!~ Also look up Lupus..it sometimes disguises itself. I also get checked for Rheumatoid arthritis every so often because my mother had it. You may also experience Restless Leg Syndrome, racing thoughts, headaches, burning in the chest muscles & a lot more!!! Any Q's - just look me up!
