i have had problems for many years and in 2005 was diagnosed with fibromyalgia i already have ibs, arthritis and raynauds disease.since last year i have had a protruding rib on my left side which feels like its digging in me and any pulling movement(by my dog)leaves me havign to stop to regain my breath and ease pain and discomfort.my abdomen is so swollen is solid and lumpy and very tender to touch.i ahve had all scans etc and they say everything is normal,i am not convinced as i have other symptons such as never feeling hungry and my stomach has swelled to 42".since beg of this year i have had a bright red rash all over my skin and fro two weeks i have had nose bleeds and i may have polpys my nose(feels squashy like jelly in each nostril.also i have bony bumps on each side of my nose.was prescribed just a cream fro my nose and no expnantion for nose bleeds(polyps?)
its like my gp is not acknowledging everything i tell him and just treat everything with painkillers but do not give a reason why i have teh problem with my ribs and abdomen.
Sorry not an answer, but i have arthritis and degenerative disk disease in my lower back and raynauds ; ,I'm wondering if i have the other arthritis not osteoarthritis but.. ugh.. i can't remember but it's the bad kind, I have nose weirdness ; a soar in inner corner towards front it hurts and i swear it looks like cartilage coming through, I'm going to my checkup in 3 months i'm afraid to find out my body is going poof.,.,.,,..I'll be 51 but feel so much younger (not body wise). i'll see what u come up with and i'll post too.good luck and be positive .
