I have been experiencing many symptoms of pain since summer 2006 (widespread chronic pain, soft tissue pain, tenderness, fatigue, weakness, achiness, soreness, trouble sleeping, concentration problems, brain fog migraines, and muscle spasms). I already have cerebral palsy on my left side, and epilepsy. A friend with fibromyalgia suggested that I see a doctor because she suspects I also have fibromyalgia. When I did see the doctor, she prescribed me Cymbalta, had my blood taken, and told me it was "non-specific widespread chronic pain". She was reluctant to say anything about fibro because "it could be anything." The blood tests are perfectly fine. The Cymbalta helps somewhat. My friend still feels that it couldn't be anything else. My gut instinct, my intuition, also says it is fibro. But I don't want to seem hypochondriac, especially since I have several other diagnosed disorders. I am just concerned that the doctor will continue to be reluctant to diagnose.
