taffy Threadhead Registered: 01/13/05 Posts: 779 Loc: Southern Chick	Hello all! It has been a long time since i have posted, and although I have visited the board from time to time I have had my original source of chronic pain (uterine fibroids) surgically removed and have been relatively pain free for about the past 18 months. Unfortunately, I am in the early stages of diagnosis with suspected fibromyalgia. I am curious, for those of you with this disease, what were your earliest symptoms? I ask because mine are a bit unusual, more localized to neck, back, hips, and such. Not as generalized I guess as most patients seem to be. This has thrown off my doc, but thank goodness I have a good one that has taken me seriously and continues to try to help me! I have done some research and found that this can happen, although it is a bit more unusual of a presentation. I am still learning and would welcome any feedback on initial symptoms, diagnosis, and words of encouragement from those of you with fibro. Thanks!!!

taffy Threadhead Registered: 01/13/05 Posts: 779 Loc: Southern Chick	Thanks, my pain has not been all over my body, but as I described above. Was yours generalized?? We are in the home stretch of diagnosis, so I am just happy to know there is an answer for why I feel so yuck and have these areas of pain T _________________________ If you ain't first, you're last----Ricky Bobby

taffy Threadhead Registered: 01/13/05 Posts: 779 Loc: Southern Chick	Some of the classic trigger points aren't painful for me. However, the points that are painful are extremely bad. Thanks for your help.....I was beginning to think I was crazy!!! _________________________ If you ain't first, you're last----Ricky Bobby

Tiades Threadhead Registered: 09/14/07 Posts: 883 Loc: West Coaster	I know, I was 'lucky' to get diagnosed in college over ten years ago. I'd never even heard of it. I have 1st appt with a Fibromyalgia specialty clinic next week. Took years for a doctor to bring that up. _________________________ Only those not paddling have time to rock the boat.
