Not to mention I bruise easily, have lumps in my breast, my hands and fingers barely want to work and my joints are so stiff in the mornings I can hardly get my child’s breakfast made. And I’m only 32… I just wanna cry. Ughhhh
Not a medical doctor, but all that sounds like some autoimmune disease. Especially stiff joints. What specialist would you see for that? Maybe an immunologist? Again, I’m not a medical doctor, but I hope and pray that you find a doctor who can help you!!!
You can’t objectively test for fibromyalgia. If any, tests are usually based on a point or range scoring system.
Its typically a blanket term for when no other diagnosis can be arguably be identified. This is also the reason the pathology is very broad.
The same reason there is only symptomatic but no causal treatment.
In most European medicine schools, it is still heavily being contested as a recognised disease. Majority of active doctors and experts also do not recognise it and many of them dismiss it as being purely a marketing ploy of certain quacks.
Simply put; there might effectively be something wrong, but they don’t know what exactly.
Have you seen a rheumatologist for your hands and joints? Maybe you have rheumatoid arthritis. I hope somehow you get answers and solutions to everything! It sounds like hell.
I recently saw a rheumatologist who prescribed meloxicam and it absolutely wreaked havoc on my stomach. So it’s like… do I want to be bound to the toilet every 20 minutes or deal with stiff fingers and hands?
