Having headaches, nausea, fatigue...

I know this is years later but what about celiac disease? your doctor can check with a blood test (for anti-endomysial antibody and/or anti-gliadin antibody).

Hi its good to know my 13 year old daughter is not alone with her chronic upset stomach, severe constant headaches/migranes, chronic fatigue, mood swings, severe pms,etc. She misses so much time off school and for such a bright child thankfully is managing to stay a grade A+ student even though attendance is almost 50%. These symptons have been prevalent for over 3 years now but are getting worse. She feels as though school ,doctors, family do not believe her which cannot make things any better for her. She has been tried on so much medication you would not believe and continually trying new medication with no resolve. It has been suggested that she is anxious/depressed and has been referred to a counsellor. She tried the pill to no avail.She has been diagnosed with tension/migrane headaches. I would love a diagnosis and more importantly a cure.

Gluten or yeast intolerance avoid breads pasta and white rice- eat 12 grans and wheat instead and lots of non cooked veggies esp green ones... See how u feel after *a month

It very well could be. Cilliac or chrones disease

Please don't despair about a positive diagnosis of fibromyalgia. I've had this disorder for many years and you learn to deal with it gradually. Once you have a diagnosis, then you can work on getting your life back.

The first thing that you need to do is find out what triggers your symptoms. Is it a lack of sleep? Could it be too much sleep or those muscle relaxers the doctors give that just make your pain worse the next day? What about stress? Fibromyalgia sufferers have flares from a number of things and we're all unique. You have to find what works for you. I suggest keeping a journal instead of trying to do this by memory.

Lastly, you need information and support. I've been getting mine from the Fibromyalgia Network for a number of years. They always have the latest medications and offer suggestions on coping and explaining your symptoms to family and friends.

Wish you the best.

To everyone experiencing these symptoms, it IS depression.  Try not to think of depression as the tendancy to be sad or upset.  Only mild depression centers around the mood.  The major depression disorders center around the inability of neurotransmitters from producing what is required for your body to function normally, which cause the pain, the bloating, the brain fog, etc.  Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that regulates muscle function and pain tolerance.  Serotonin regulates muscle response and digestion.  Do not shrug off your doctor so quickly.  There is much research to indicate that Fibro is simply a symptom of a combination of neurotransmitter disorders.  I encourage you to speak to your doctor to begin experimenting with SSRIs, SNRIs and DNRIs.  You will likely need a combination of these drugs to help make you better.  I for one, have the exact same symptoms as you.  I have found relief with Wellbutrin (300 mg), Cymbalta (40 mg) and Zoloft (100 mg).  Keep working on it.  Likely your doctor will prescribe you with low doses at first, but you need to get everything built up because our symptom are the result of extreme deficiencies in the neurotransmitters.  The doctors will also slowly introduce more meds with your advice.  Start with a DNRI (Wellburtin) then introduce an SNRI (Cymbalta) and if you still do not feel fully better, add in the SSRI (Zoloft).  Nothing is a perfect cure, but I feel so much better.  You need to research this because doctors are not motivated to work on this for you, you have to suggest what to try.  Ultimately, the real cure is eliminating what is causing your stress and anxiety because that is the root cause for all this.  The drugs just mask everything.  Try heavy breathing, especially if you sigh a lot.  Pay attention to how much you tense your muscles, especially in your head and jaw.  I bet you grind your teeth.

If you are hesitant, try some suppliments that mimic the effects of these drugs.  DOPA Mucuna (1600 mg per day), L-Tyrosine (a hefty dose of 2500 mg per day), 5-HTP (500 mg per day).  You may want to also try some Choline and Acetyl-L-Carnitine.  If you start to notice some differences with these, then you know you are on the right track.  Try them one at a time, you should see a response in a day or two of use.  The DOPA Mucuna mimics the DNRI, the L-Tyrosine mimics the SNRI and the DNRI as L-Tyrosine is the precusor for both Dopamine and Norepinephrine.  The 5-HTP mimics the SSRI.  5-HTP basically is Serotonin (for the most part).  You may also need to continue the suppliments because the prescription meds are Reuptake Inhibitors meaning that the body will take up the neurotranmitters from the body into the blood for elimination.  These drugs prevent that so the neuros stay in the body longer.  If you are not producing much of the neuros to begin with, the drugs will have little effect.  The stress you go through delivers steroids which signal the body NOT to produce neuros.  If the stress is chonic, you body will produce very little of these neuros.  You may need to jump start the production with the suppliments.  If the stress persists, you body will continue to not want to produce the neuros, so again, STOP the stress.

This takes time, we are talking many months here, so don't stop your work on it.  I know how painful this is and how much you want relief.  Again, I have been there and for 5 YEARS!  I was a runner who would train with 40 - 50 miles a week.  Within a months time, I couldn't even run across the street.  The pain was so intense.  This treatment works, I am running again, so please try it, what can you loose?

Dont take medication consistantly, seeing a doctors that,s all you goung to be given. Go to accupuncture or medical massage. I, very have same problems all my life, I'm korean living in US, ur have to improve from basic, like to make chi energy to flowers yr body, not depends on medicine.

Your story sounds EXACTLY like mine. I am 22 and was also diagnosed with fibromyalgia when I was 19. I feel like I am 60 and I'm only 22. I'm tired all the time, Im a college student and my grades have dropped drastically over the past 2 years and I used the be an A student, its so hard to get up and go to class and even when I spend ALL of my time studying its like I don't retain anything. Its terrible. I can deal with the pain I feel constantly but I can't get over feeling nauseous everyday. Ive been to the doctor so many times and basically everything comes back normal but I know that the way I feel isn't normal. Its ruining my life because I'm missing out on so many things others my age are doing because I'm either exhausted have a migraine or nauseous. I was prescribed celexa and that made me a train wreck. I'm now prescribed to cymbalta to help with the fibromyalgia but I can't say it really helps. My mom also has fibromyalgia and is constantly in pain and has pretty much tried everything the doctor has suggested over the last 10 years but she still has days were she can barely move because she's in so much pain. I wish there was more answers for those of us with fibromyalgia.

Bewn feeling bad all day. Food turns my stomache and I havent ate anything today but oatmeal and couldnt eat that. Im late for my cycle, my legs are aching and Im hot one minute and shaking the next. Im sleeping all the time and my boyfriend slept all day yesterday...PLEASE TELL ME SOMETHING

I was diagnosed in 2011...I was on cymbalta for 4 months when I became very sick..for the whole month of November I vomited and had diarrhea several times a day. The doctor had no answers..I suggested to him that I go off the cymbalta...and that was the culprit!..sometimes we have to go with our gut instinct and tell the doctor instead of him telling us..we know how our bodies feel not him.

I have the exact same symptoms as you. I went to a homeopathic doctor (which is just a doctor that treats with all natural medicine) because no doctor would help or take me seriously. It turns out my liver isn't filtering properly and I have low hormone levels and chronic fatigue and slight hypothyroidism....Idk if you share the same diagnosis but going to one ishame worth it. The medicine helps and doesn't just get rid of the symptoms it heals you. most people think homeopathic medicine is a bunch of bologna but you can't argue with results.

Ask the doctor to check your inflammation levels...and tell you the results..fibromyagia may be a secondary condition..better to keep digging until they\re sure..
